In Presenter '09, Attachments covered by web object

Sep 24, 2014

I'm using Presenter '09 and have a web object that takes up the entire slide. When clicking the Attachments tab, it drops down behind the web object, so the link to the attachment isn't visible. Is there any way around this, other than making the web object smaller?

Hi Chris and welcome to Heroes!

AWeb Objectwill always display as the top level item on a slide. If you click on the presenter bio, the email buttons, or a toolbar menu item while viewing a Web Object, the Web Object will obscure the option you selected.

You can workaround this Flash limitation in one of the following ways:

  • Display the slide that contains the Web Object inSlide Onlyview viaSlide Properties > Change View, which will hide the player elements, so that they do not inadvertently appear behind the Web Object.
  • Use the unsupported solution described inthis article, which involves inserting a SWF file into the Web Object slide.
