    Hi.

     

    The TextInput component (and all other components under Window > Components) is a DOM element so it's either on top of the canvas or below the canvas. There is no way to place a DOM-based element between layers created in the Animate IDE.

     

    Artwork created with the design tools are all canvas/CreateJS based.

     

    And unfortunately there isn't a canvas based input text field in Animate or CreateJS.

     

    In what specific type of situation do you need an input text field?

     

    Please let us know.

     

    Regards,

    JC

    Hi João, thanks for your answer,

    I understand, it's for a game, when you have entered the correct text strings, a movie clip with a congratulatory message should appear on top of stage and of course, the input text is above ...

    Kind regards.
