Can Web Object be hidden?

I need to show a window with text on the same page as a Web Object. The text window appears with a button click. However, the Web Object is always on top. Is there a way to hide the Web Object temporarily, or, make it so it is not always on top?

    Yes i am encountering the same problem. I want to hide the webobject when someone goes back to the page. But cannot.

    I solved this by creating same slides with different web objects so instead of show hide, I have to jump to other slide.

      Thank you for your response! I've also since discovered that show and hide does work for web objects! But you need to hide upon entering another frame, because by hiding when you enter the one that its embedded in, it doesn't work, because the page has already loaded when you enter.

      Just checked it out and it was perfectly possible to have a text container (made it transparent, only text) on top of a web object, and have a (shape) button that makes it appear. Can you check the Timeline: is the text on this slide and is it on top of the Web ojbect widget?

      And what do you mean by 'temporarily' hiding the web object?

      I tried this. It looks like the text is on top while working in Captivate, but when it's published the Web Object is always on top. And doing an Advanced Action will not hide the Web Object.

      Well, I guess I am able to make the Web Object disappear - sometimes. If the Web Object is calling a regular web site it will disappear just fine. However, my Web Object is calling a web page that I have made in Adobe Edge Animate and resides locally within the same folder as my project. Should that make a difference?

      You can setup a simple advanced action to the button that triggers the text window. It will be something like:

      I tried exactly that. However, when published, the Web Object never becomes hidden. I even tried it on a new, blank plroject. The button and Advanced Action will not hide the Web Object.
