does weblobby have to be the top most object?

[zimmer62]

I thought it would be neat to put a frame with soft and rounded edges around a weblobby area, but it just doesn't right because weblobby insists on being on top..

It's also a pain in the butt when your working on a scene and the weblobby window even overlaps the mainlobby menu at the top covering your save button.

Any chance this can be addressed so that weblobby follows the z-order properly?

Unfortunately that request is impossible. You'll have to contact Microsoft and then Adobe on that one.

Is this true for layers as well?

It is very problematic if you use sliding layers to have the layer slide behind a full screen web lobby window obscuring view of all buttons on the layer.

Yes - ActiveX objects are always on top of Flash. You'd have to close the activeX temporarily if you have sliding menus opening up that overlap the activeX window.

Is there a way to close the active x object via MLServeCmd? That would be acceptable for me.

You bet.

There's a CLOSE or HIDE command. Once you HIDE it, you can restore it with the SHOW command. See the wiki for details:

Sweeeeet.

Thanks Mario.


Now O.T. what about those Photo Lobby Macros?

[mcascio]

Just sent you an email...but they get imported during the install of PhotoLobby unless you unchecked the box at the end of the install.

Hi Mario,

I tried this
MLServeCmd.MLCmd|MLCommand~clientname~Web|Hide~ID

and this
MLCmd|{{clientname}}~Web|Hide~1

to no avail, the web window still appears and nothing else can be viewed.

This command
MLServeCmd.MLCmd|MLCommand~{{clientname}}~Web|GoSearch~1
appears to work as advertised as does this one:
MLServeCmd.MLCmd|MLCommand~{{clientname}}~Web|Navigate~http://www.cinemaronline.com~1

So web lobby seems to work in general it's the hide part that does not seem to be behaving for me. I am running in a RDP session on Server 2003. Does that have an impact? Enhanced Security is turned off.

Actually, when I execute the hide command, It does flash/flicker as if it were trying to do something, but it just comes right back.

This is a killer, I need a solution ASAP.

John,

It's going to take time to troubleshoot and fix. Have you tried the WEb|Close command...that seems to work on my end.

[jpimentel]

Web|Close works. That will get me by for now.

Please let me know when the other one works again.

Thanks,

JP
