WebViews and Overlays

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have an App that shows an html by a webview, then I have a button that shows me an overlay but the Webview appears over the overlay, what can I do to solve this? I don’t want the webview to “disappear” , I want the overlay to be over the webview.

I tried doingc “object:toFront()” and “object:toBack()” but it doesn’t work.

You can’t control the layer of webView object since it’s part of the native API and not a part of the OpenGL canvas.

You can find more information here:

It’s the same problem I have with native text fields. I really don’t know if you could make the webview visible or not when the overlay is on screen.

webView.isVisible = false

#4

Do your overlay in html?

#5

At the end I changed Webview.isVisible to false, is not what I wanted to do, but maybe the best and the easiest solution in this case.

Thanks everybody for answering.
