text on top of player object

[hutchfx]

I'm building a kiosk-like application. I'd like to have a QT movie looping in the background, with changeable text floating over it. Is there a way to put text on top of a player object?

Thanks!

Hi Hutch,

I'm afraid this is not possible in LiveCode.

You could however set the "alwaysbuffer" of the player object to true,
but that may slow down the performance of the video, to say the least...

Set the "alwaysBuffer" to true (on the player object).. You lose the use of the player controls though (play/pause, volume, etc) but you can mimic them in custom controls or through code..

HI all,

ah, well, just made a test and yes, the movie runs fine!?
Sorry for my first posting, looks like this has improved a lot since I last tested this feature.

Again, sorry for the negative answer!
