Can you use Powerpoint's Arrange command on a swf? I want to place a Powerpoint text box on top of a swf. I have tried Arrange > Send to Back on the swf and Arrange > Bring to Front on the text box, but swf remains in front of the text. If the Arrange command is a no go, is there any way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
As far as I know for Articulate anyway, swf file is always on top, so no layering allowed. Can you not put your text box into your flash file and add it back in that way?

Dawyne is correct, you can layer via quizmaker using the timeline, but in ppt the swf is always on top
Thanks, was afraid that might be the case. Yes, the text could go into the flash file but we need to translate and having the text editable in powerpoint is . . . well, I'm sure you understand. Your replies appreciated. rick
Yes, but then you get into all the folderol around getting quizmaker to match the master slide. If I could have just one feature, it would be to be able to turn on/off engage and quizmaker elements. I know there is a $50 solution for engage, and the best no-cost solution that I've come across for both is David Fair's instructions for scaling. On/off options built-in to the apps themselves would be terrific. Thanks much for the thoughtful suggestion.

Hey Rick,
Why not make it an official request?:

You are right. Squeaky wheel gets the oil; the world is run by those who show up; etc. etc. etc. The request is in. Good suggestion, thanks!
