Send To Back (2002)

Everybody

I have inserted a Shockwave Flash Object into a slide and it plays beautifully. However, I’m trying to hide it temporarily by overlaying a rectangle and I’ve attempted to send the rectangle to the front and send the flash object to the back using the order property. When viewing the show, the flash object always appears on top. Is there any way I can achieve what I want to do?

TIA

No, I don’t think so. The Flash object writes directly to the screen.

Oh well! Back to the drawing board. Thanks Hans.

I Have had similar problems Rob and have had to resort to using the timer to go to a new slide for the ‘temporary period’ and then repeating the flash object in the next slide

Hope this helps

Hi again Rob

A quick search around some files I had when I was using a lot of Flash files bought this up http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/publications/techr…02-003cover.pdf%5B/url%5D which shows how to put controls onto the Flash object to stop and rewind etc. I don’t recall ever using it but hpefully it will help.

If you are using Flash files this rewind add in may prove to be useful http://skp.mvps.org/flashback.htm%5B/url%5D

There are only a few objects that can appear in front of a flash object.
Control box image holders will eg
If you insert one from the control toolbox (no image needed) it should mask the flash (adjust fill/ line in right click properties)

Unfortunately you cannot apply normal animations but you can right click and add this code between the two existing lines of “on click” code
