Hi, I am using the video player in the fullscreen of the stack. I would like to put some fields on top layer of video player which can be used to show sub titles or even to make some decision.. but when I am putting any field on top of player, it is not visible on top.. I changed the layer to highest but it does not work..

Any workaround?

Thanks for your help..
cheers

You may have to use a workaround, since it seems that a running player hides any control within its rect. Maybe kluge a palette that floats above the player, and use that as your subtitle "field"?

In the older versions of the player that used QuickTime, setting its alwaysBuffer to true allowed objects to be placed on top. But in that case, there is no controller so you must create your own using buttons and a progress bar. See "alwaysBuffer" in the dictionary.

I don't know if the new non-quicktime player does the same.

Works here in 6.7.9

Thanks a lot. It seems to work by choosing buffer to true.
