Enhanced web objects
Sep 18, 2014

The new Storyline advertises that we can, "Build the perfect home for your embedded web content. You can now layer shapes, characters, text, and other objects on top of web objects."
When I put anything on top of a web object, in a new layer or just higher in the base layer timeline, the object disappears whenever I move my cursor over the embedded web object.
Here's a link to an example: http://s3.amazonaws.com/tempshare-stage.storyline.articulate.com/stp19254bu3d1ubd7vk3801tf81jv74/story.html
You'll see what I mean by trying to click the "Can't see..." buttons in the example above.
Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Interesting, and I see what you mean. Your example also behaves completely different for me in Chrome than it does in IE.

Thanks, Brian. Strange to see that it's intended functionality. I fail to see how layering is useful if it's just going to disappear once a user hovers over the web object.
Also, yes... I've noticed that web objects render differently in IE than other browsers.
