openWebObject JavaScript - Differences between SL1 and SL2?

Nov 12, 2015

Does anyone know what's changed between SL1 and SL2 with regards to using the openWebObject function via an Execute JavaScript trigger?

In SL1 this code:

var customURL="http://webmedia.unmc.edu/nursing/heroes/ilm/misc/webobject.html"; OpenWebObject(1,customURL,145,390,740,160,0,0);

works as expected.

However, in SL2, nothing appears to be happening.

The SL2 version linked above was built from scratch, but converting the SL1 .story file has the same result - no Web Object displayed.

Hi Stephen,

I don't know of any changes in the code from SL1 to SL2, and I did reach out to my colleagues to see if they knew of something specific - but Javascript code is not something I'm equipped to support. You may want to tag along into this thread, as it looks like Marco has some ideas about a similar situation.

Stephen,

If you add these two lines of code to what you have, I think you will see it (not verified):

var oWebObject1 = g_oWebObjects["1"];
oWebObject1.Div.style.zIndex = 900 ;

As with the other thread, the problem is that the OpenWebObject code is setting the zindec to -1 which places it behind the player.  It's actually there on your page, but you can't see it.
