So I have a Scroller stck with a Srcerer stack inside. When I add a child stack overlay and change the z-index to 99 everything inside the scroller freeze i.e. I can’t change anything, can’t make Srcerer or the child stack active (and, of course, can’t change the z-index back).
I can change to a master overlay and the overlay changes but the lock is still there.
For the master overlay I don’t seem to be able to change the z-index and I get the overlay on all of the page (as if it inherit the child stack setting and applies that to the whole page) until the stack that has the overlay comes into view then it disappears everywhere else.
I use Source and the base settings but not much else on the page (some mrkd stacks to get something to scroll)
If you go down to the bottom of the main ScrollMate settings, in Advanced there is a checkbox for Allow Click Throughs If you turn this on then you will be able to select the child stack again and make adjustments.
Clearly, I should stop z-indexes >0 from affecting edit mode, I’ve added it to the bug tracker and I’ll put it in the next update.
I would also question why you need an overlay with a z-index of 99 though? The overlay is a background image overlay and so really shouldn’t ever need to be more than -1 or 0. Certainly using a z-index of 0 will still put the overlay on top of your Srcerer image.
Hi, thanks
" Click Throughs"was one of the first thing I tried. If the z-index is 0 it works well without the " Click Throughs" but if it is 99 then " Click Throughs" does not help. Don’t know where the change happens.
“why you need an overlay with a z-index of 99 though” - good point :-) that was not given much thought, I just choose a big number for testing how things work. And when things does not work as expected you don’t know if you are doing something wrong or if it’s a bug (after all there are tons of thing combining with each other).
