Try to add the button again?! I sometimes had the feeling other elements on the screen helped the controlbar to appear ....

To help, I could make a 'MediaController' icon that could be usd to create controllers for use on Sound and Video icons? That migt be quite good,as there would be only one controller, rather than very similar code in the Sound and Video icons to provide the controller functionality..?

So, if I create a new eventListener with the eventName "synch" as a child of my videoicon (property dispatchSynchEvents = true) it should be triggered every frame while the video plays, shouldn't it? But nothing happens at the moment ... I double checked the spelling of synch ...
