Hover button
If you really need to achieve this, you could work around it with JavaScript by temporarily raising the caption’s position using z-index when the button is hovered, then restoring the original z-index once the button returns to its normal state (attached).
That said, there are many reasons why this approach may create more problems than benefits, as JudyNollet and PhilMayor pointed out in their comments, and their reasoning makes perfect sense. If you are not comfortable with JavaScript, or you are not familiar with modifying code, working with z-index, and managing element stacking behavior, I would not recommend this solution. In that case, it would be much better to place each caption on separate layers, as suggested by Phil and Judy.
AndiTamzil: Any object inserted into another object's Hover state will appear over or under other objects on the slide based on the order of all the objects in the Timeline. (Refer back to my earlier reply for a fuller explanation.)
The only way to have all the descriptions appear above all of the buttons is to make each description a separate object.
- The easiest method would be to put each description on a layer. Keep the default Slide Layer Property so when a layer shows, that hides other layers.
- Alternately, you could put the objects on the base, and use a whole lotta triggers to change them between Hidden and Normal.
I'll also repeat my previous note: It is not accessible to put unique content into Hover state. Those who navigate with a keyboard or who are using a mobile device can't "mouse over" anything. So they'd never be able to view that caption.
Therefore, a description should be shown when someone clicks a button (not when they mouse over it).
