Question

html5 animations cover master slide objects

To avoid too many items on the timeline of eacg slide, I like to place buttons with universal functionality on Matser slides.

One thing is that you can't use custom states for shape buttons on Matser slides.

WHen i place an html5 animation on a slide, it will cover the buttons, even though I have set Master SLide Objects to be on top.

The sam thing happens if a place the buttons on top on a regular slide.

Is there any way to avoid this?

    Animations are on top of the stack, correct.

    As for the shape buttons (normal buttons cannot be used on master slides): the alternative to have them on master slides is to put them on the first slide, time them for the rest of the project. It has the advantage that they will have an ID, so can be controlled by (advanced/shared) actions.

    So there's no way to have buttons on top of animations?

    The buttons I want to put on the Maaster slide are back an forward buttons.

    By putting them on the first page and set duration for the project makes that functionality a bit hard to accomplish.

    Or will the buttons know which slide they're on?

    Can you explain? If you put it on the first slide, timed for rest of project and always on top it is the same button (had only one ID, name) that will be on each slide. If you want to hide the Next button on the last slide, that is possible using the On Enter action. Same for the Back button on the first slide, which you can hide as well. That is impossible with shape buttons on master slides, because they do not have a name at all.
