Re: Buttons on Players?

[Dan Shafer]

Thanks, gentlemen. The button I needed in this particular case is only 
needed before the movie actually starts. I created a button that asks 
for a password and covered the controls on the Player object with it. 
Works like a champ. But if someone knows of a better easy way to fix 
this, let me know.

Meanwhile, I'm mastering LiveStage Pro, at least far enough to get a 
text track that asks the user for a password before the movie can 
start.

True?
You have to set alwaysBuffer to true so QT doesn't draw direct to the 
screen but you will see a serious performance hit by doing this.  If 
you are only displaying the button while the video is stopped then you 
will be fine but if you want a button that appears while video is 
playing then you may want to consider adding the button to the QT 
movie directly using a tool like LiveStage or GoLive.
