Multi-State object placement?

Feb 27, 2012 5:09 PM

Hi,

I need to create a multi-state object that will sit below other graphic object on the page, however when I preview the page - the multi-state object jumps to the top layer and the other graphics and text are hidden behind it.
Anyone know how I can achieve this?

Thanks

Multi State Objects are always above other static graphics. You should put the 'static graphics' as 'overlay objects'. Group them, convert as a Multistate Object (two equal states, yes) and check Autoplay in Overlay Creator. Then, this group will show on the other (if them are in a superior layer).

okay but if the "static" thing is supposed to lead to the next step of the MSO, the button function seems to disappar once the layers are grouped as "overlay objects". ??

It's important that only interactive objects can appear above interactive objects.
Buttons are interactive objects you can put above a MSO (bring to front, or move to the top layer) without covert them in a MSO.
