Layering the video on mobile

[William Jamieson]

Hello, I want to put a couple buttons above a video while it is playing on the iphone.

This is a continuation of the thread talking about how to do this on Desktop here: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=24367

Is this possible? Is this possible with widget architecture?

No, native player is placed over your app by the Operating system, any control you create with livecode is behind native controllers.

I remember Kevin saying at the Livecode conference that videos will be able to be layered if they are in a widget. So what I am thinking is to create a window, and play the video in the window using Javascript or a plugin, or an API to some service, and hopefully use that to play the video rather than something like

Code: Select all

MobileControlCreate "Player"

.

Would this work? Does anyone know a solution?
