Does anyone know a way to place content, e.g. a marker or caption, over top of a web object. I'd like to place a marker explaining some detail about a web page that I'm loading as a web object. But I can't get the marker to overlay the web object; the web object just covers up the marker. I've tried putting the marker on a separate layer but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
I'm afraid you won't be able to do that due to the mechanics of the way Web objects work, more specifically the way iFrames work in the browser. Flash > iFrame. Since the base is a Flash file and the iFrame floats on top, there's no way to force another Flash layer above the iFrame.
One way to do this might be to load a screenshot of your Web object content for the orientation tour with a button to "go live".

Thanks Steve,
That's an interesting suggestion to use a "go live" button. I think I'll give that a try and see how it looks.
Thanks again.
