Hi Tom,
The video is rendered in a separate (child) window, on top of everything
else. This means that you can't put a control in front of a playing
movie. If you really want this, you need to create a palette window with
that control and display it in front of the movie. I think that the
Kickstarter roadmap includes re-doing the movie features, which should
also solve this problem.
There are a few ways to work around this problem. E.g. you could show a
picture with the first frame of the movie and the field in front of it.
When the field is hidden, you can display the player control. You could
also make a SMIL file that shows text in front of the movie. You'll have
to figure out how the SMIL format works, though. You could also edit the
movie to include the text in the movie.

Hi all.
I have a card with video player set to loop on the bottom layer and a text
field above it. The problem is when I go to that card, the video is always
on top. When I click in the Project Browser on the video player, the title
comes to the front and is properly displayed. (This is happening on Windows
XP in LC 6.0.0, build 1511 Commercial Edition. Video clip is an avi.)
I have both video and title set to dynamic, but the problem exists when they
are set to static, too. Also, the problem occurs when I comment out the
"start" command for the player, so even a still video frame goes to the top.
Here's my code:
on opencard
set the layer of player "backVid" to bottom
start player "backVid"
put "Intro. to" & RETURN & "Meteorology" & RETURN & "Week 1" into field
"Title"
set the layer of field "Title" to top
end opencard
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Tom Bodine
