Web objects always on top.

Videos from Vimeo brought into Captivate in a web object always displays on top of everything else. Does anyone know how to get around this problem (if you've got an info box, for example, that needs to display in front of everything else)? Thanks

My company is currently looking at purchasing a number of licenses for captivate and that was one of the 6 or 7 questions I asked, the above was their reply. It worked perfectly for me, after you change that file you can move the layer the web object is on and put text or anything else you need to on top of it.
@csdsc29085362 - I have only tried this for a responsive projects sorry : /

How to display an element on top of a web object

Hello,
I would like to display some grouped elements on top of a web object in my project.
If you look at the image below, the large black frame is a web object that will play a video in an iframe.
I'd like to put a smart shape (the white outlined box) on top of that web object with a text object inserted and an image button (the X).
The idea is that when the video plays people can see what the video title is and click the X so that the box disappears if they wish to do so.
But even though the group is on top of the web object in the timeline, as soon as the video loads and starts playing the web object takes pole position and the box, text, X, etc disappear.
Any ideas how I can retain the layer order, even when the video starts playing?
Thanks.
R.

What if you use a script and use a image with the video name and the "x" I´m using the google logo as example.
var widget = document.querySelector("[id*='Widget'],[id*='Web']")
var ronanImageTitle = document.createElement("img");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("src", "https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png");
ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute; z-index:100; top:0; width:50%");
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeIn( "slow" , 0);
$(ronanImageTitle).click(function() {
$(ronanImageTitle).fadeOut( "slow" , 0);
$(widget).append(ronanImageTitle);

Y position always on top of an object!

Riiiight heyyyyy, my new question is... how do you make the y
position of an object always be just above another object, e.g. on
most games on the internet an object or "player" can move over
other objects like "ground" and obstacles, in my quite simple game,
I've been trying to get the ball to roll over a simple "floor" Mc
using hitTest using
_y -- or _y -= 1 to get the object to stay over the floor,
this works fine on horizontal "floor" but on parts where the floor
raises it moves straight through it and goes up slowly if the ball
remains inside the Mc until it reaches the top of it,
Is there a way to keep the ball constantly 1px above the Mc?
Thaaaaaaaanks in advanceeee!

there's no easy fix. you'll need to code for that.
if you have a simple shaped ground, just code directly.
if you have a complex irregularly shaped ground, you can use
the bitmapdata class to record the "height" of your ground as a
function of _x and in your loop that's used to change the ball's _x
property, check the corresponding "height" of the ground and adjust
your ball accordingly.

Can Web Object be hidden?

I need to show a window with text on the same page as a Web Object. The text window appears with a button click. However, the Web Object is always on top. Is there a way to hide the Web Object temporarily, or, make it so it is not always on top?

Just checked it out and it was perfectly possible to have a text container (made it transparent, only text) on top of a web object, and have a (shape) button that makes it appear. Can you check the Timeline: is the text on this slide and is it on top of the Web ojbect widget?
And what do you mean by 'temporarily' hiding the web object?

Problem with Jdeveloper and the Web Object Manager

I am trying to register a servlet through the web object manager.
As soon as click the web object manager menu pick I get the following
error: Could not load servlet information from web server.
On other peoples machines here it works fine and they can register
servlets. What am I missing!

hmmmm, wondering if I understood you correctly:
first try the file association - right click on one of the movie files (you should tell as well with extension) then 'open with' menu then go to 'choose program' and then choose one of them and coach the box "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" in your example 'window media player'.
the other point I understood is that in download directly into your browser, well there is a settin for this in the option, don't know where exactly, but you can avoid this by right clicking on the movie/file link and choose 'save target as ...' this forces it to download it on your disk and then you can open it.
hope this kinda helps

Can I use JavaScript to force objects to overlap a Web Object in Captivate 7?

Hi, so I have all of these great ideas for using Web Objects to enhance my courses, but am discouraged by the fact that I can't seem to get anything to overlap a Web Object. The only thing I can seem to get to overlap a Web Object is another Web Object. I have found that buttons seem to still work under the Web Object (which is good) but I really would like to know of a way to allow things on the Captivate timeline to be viewed on top of them. Things like text fields and images.
I've seen posts about how to use JavaScript to have the menu show above Web Objects, but that code doesn't seem to work for regular objects. I read that Web Objects sit in an "<iframe>" tag and that that forces it to appear above everything else. I'm left wondering if it is possible to get around this by somehow putting Captivate objects in an <iframe> of their own with JavaScript? Or is there some other way? Does anybody know any JavaScript I can apply to Captivate objects to get them to appear above a Web Object?
Thanks,
Dan

So I have come to learn that the "<iframe>" tag for a Web Object is simply a window that sits on top of the course. Now I'm wondering if anyone has an effective method for importing flash quality animation (in whatever form) that can sit underneath of Captivate objects and still be HTML5 compliant?
Thanks,
Dan

As the title I can have inside a JDesktopPane some JinternalFrame "always on top" compared to one that makes the background?You might get better help by explaining what you want to achieve, rather than how you want to achieve it.
You can do custom painting in a JDesktopPane, you know.

How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale. Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.
The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

Web Object web page underneath Captivate

I have a video embedded in a web page. That web page is then inserted into a Web Object. The video controller has a full-screen button. Like this:
When full-screen is activated the video appears BEHIND the Captivate web page like this:
This only happens when published as Flash and viewed in Windows Explorer on Windows 7 (as far as I'm able to test). Of course, this is what our client will be viewing this with. It works just fine On Windows XP, Chrome, Safari and HTML5. In those cases the video appears on top of everything like it should. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Hello Steverb,
I think by Windows explorer you mean Internet Explorer.
Can you tell me the version of Flash installed along with the version of Internet explorer on your computer ?
Are you trying to open a swf file or a .htm file ? Please open .htm file and then check.
Please create a blank project with only one slide with webobject interaction and see if you are able to reproduce the issue.
Thanks and Regards

Always on Top, IS THERE A WAY!?!?!!?

I've searched through th forumns for a way that makes a window always on top, and have yet to find one.
What I have is a JFRAME that is actually a JMENU in which every everyone window in my application access the same object, the same JMENU. And the frame is seperate from any other window, sorta like a mac. But the problem is, the key accelrators like
item.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_O, Event.CTRL_MASK));
only work when the frame is in focus. So is there a way to have that frame always in focus and always on top?

Thnx, that article is helpful. Now I just need to understand the code and implement it.
Infact if this works like I'm reading, why wasn't this made a lil more known? This is like the cure for AIDS kept secret.
Do you think it would better as an interface or as an static object in the menubar?

Always on Top Frame

HI, I have search a lot about Always on Top Frame, but couldn't found the solution of my problem.
My application has a PropertyWindow, the problem is, I want my PropertyWindow always on Top. Please suggest me which container should I use, because If I use JFrame as a PropertyWindow, another frame is created and windows toolbar have two windows.
If I use JPanel, I dont found the functionalities like WindowClosing, Settitle etc etc.
Please help me to get rid of this annoying problem. I want exactly something like JBuilder or Photoshop functionality where property windows are always on top and also seperate with the application.

But I got this error while using 1.5

Firefox always on top (No Addon's installed) I moved away from chrome for this but it still happens in latest version?

I have installed latest version of FF
It started off great for a few hours and then it happened, ALWAYS ON TOP
I have to shut down and start again
no additional add-ons have been installed, it is out of the box
Can you please fix this? I have the same issue with chrome which is a great browser however it actually is so problematic for me that I switched to mozilla. However you have the same problem.
Help please.
Regards
-=D

When this happens, can you force all windows to minimize as a workaround (instead of shutting down), then choose the desired window from the jump list on the Firefox icon on the task bar? Either:
* Window key + d
* Window key + m
* click the unmarked vertical button at the far right end of the Windows task bar
I can't think of a way for a web page to put itself in front of all other applications, but perhaps it could do so using a plugin.
Have you noticed any pattern in the sites where this happens?
