The video component overlaps all the other animation items even though I have placed it on the bottom layer I am using an mp4 in the components video application. Is there a way to fix the problem.

      If you'd like your video at the bottom and other animations playing on top of it, you can try this:

      1. Set the stage color to transparent in Properties panel.

      2. add the following line of code in Actions panel on frame 1:

                var dom_container = document.getElementById("dom_overlay_container");

                dom_container.style.zIndex=-1;

      This will place the Components as underlay instead of overlay to the canvas.

      I tried this and it worked on all browsers except Chrome.  That's a deal-killer.

          If you're working in an HTML5 Canvas document, components will always overlap everything on the stage, no matter what you do, because they're not drawn on the stage canvas. They're separate browser DOM elements floating above the canvas. It's physically impossible for anything on the stage to be above them.

          I placed the video component in a symbol and it did not work.  What if you change the file type to flv or another file associated with

          Adobe Animate. Is their any other possibility.

          You still haven't said whether you're working in an AS3 or Canvas document.

          Have you tried adding the video component inside a symbol? The video component is likely adding a video object as a child of the video component's parent, which would mean that the video object would be placed on top of everything else inside the parent. By placing the video component inside a symbol, the parent of the video component would be that symbol.
