Video playbar over items on a slide (HTML5)

el_enka Jun 19, 2014 1:00 AM

Hi,

I have a project that contains video (event video) and I also have a Help. Help is an image that is in the middle of a slide and its duration is set to Rest of Project. To view or close the Help user must click on a button.

The problem with this is that when I am on a slide that contains event video and open the Help, the video playbar is rendered on top of the Help image. It is inactive where they overlap, but appears to be on the top. The video itself is underneath the Help image.

I would like the Help to be on top of everything. Is this possible? And I should mention - this is a HTML5 publish.

Thank you

Didn't check it yet, concerning the video playbar, but I suppose you checked the option for the Help image to have it Always on top?

Yes, I have checked the option Place object on Top.

Hi there,

No real help, but I have the same problem with an interaction (accordion). Obvioulsy, if you enter a slide on which there is an interaction (haven' t tested it with all of them), this always shows on top in HTML5 output (at least above my popup smart shapes)

Also, it is not active, which is similar to what you described.

That's right.
I also have a widget and it is rendered on top, but when I checked the z-index in a published output, this is what the values were:
infoBox = 21
widget = 16
which means that according to these values infoBox should be in top. And on top of everything, when I use object inspector in browser and point on the overlapping area, the infoBox is chosen (as if it was on top).
This would indicate that the error is only in the rendering part, because the code is fine. And since Captivate generates the code right this seems to be a browser issue (although all of them appear to have the same flaw).
It is strange.

Welcome to the wonderfully inconsistent and unpredictable world of HTML5!

As it turned out the HTML5 inconsistency is not the problem in this particular case . The problem is in the way Captivate generates the output. Which is - all of the images are in the same div - layered properly and then all of active areas and widgets are in another div layered properly.
Images are drawn first and then over them the rest, which results in widget ending up displayed over any image - even one to be stated to be on top all the time.
I have reported this bug to Adobe, so I hope it will be one day (soon) resolved.

I had the same issue.
The only workaround I could come up with is to toggle the visibility of the video to prevent it from showing through.

Hope that helps.

I think I can use this. It is visible that the video disappears, but it is an acceptable solution. Thanks
