Hello Brains Trust,

 

I am stuck.

I am trying to get a navigation bar's scroll position to stay at the top of a frame (a prototype website) as one scrolls down. I want the nav bar to be visible at all times, even when scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page - but it just won't. 

I have done every step recommended:

  1. Select the navigation bar instance in the Home frame.
  2. In the Prototype tab, select Sticky from the Position menu.
  3. Open the Auto layout settings, and make sure Canvas stacking is set to First on top.
  4. It is at the highest layer order within the frame
  5. It is fully inside the frame, with all appropriate properties enabled
  6. I have tried every configuration of ‘Overflow Behaviour’ and nothing works (none, horizontal, vertical, both directs etc.)
  7. Yes, it is in a frame, not a group.
  8. If I disable auto layout, the problem persists.
  9. I have applied the ‘First on top’ to the Main component.
  10. On one frame is kinda half works but flickers over and under layers.
  11. Yes, I have turned it off and on again.

I have exhausted every option I can think of - can anyone suggest that I may have missed? I’ve been following the Figma Design for beginners (Chapter 31 of 33) course and have slammed well and truly into a brick wall on this one.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi. I checked your file and the canvas stacking was last on top instead a first on top. Just change it and the problem will be solved.

As an option, you can use a fixed instead of sticky, it will also work.

 

​@Nellya you are an angel - Thank you so much, I don’t know how I went wrong with that!

I am just beginning and it’s so easy to be unable to see the forest for the trees!

​@elleapopei ​@Nellya  Thank you elleapopei, Thank you Neyllya, I also had the same problem that the same one as elleapopei’s.

When I saw Nellya’s gif I kenw where was the point—— We should set the home frame’s canvas stacking to “First on top”, But I always set the navigation frame to “First on Top”. I think may be elleapopei also did it. Maybe the problem is the FD4B(2025) Chapter 31 confused us. In this option set step, I think the course should tell us which should be selected first, in my opinion I want the navigation on the top,so I selected it,but it not work.

I checked the passage and the vedio of this chapter, neither fo them mentioned which frame should be selected,in the vedio I can see the home frame is selected,OK, that’s right, I overlooked it. but in the passage the picture is that, It’s also selected nav frame.

 

 

I’m not blaming figma’s course, FD4B is very good, it’s a pleasent to learn it, and figma’s product design is my love. I only want to point that why we felt confused.

 

Thanks again~
