[Xerte] Xerte3: Hide Play/Stop/Tracker on VideoIcon

[Julian Tenney]

Yes, but that's going to take a bit more work.

I've made it so that you can now use the .controls property [defaults to
true] to turn off the controls if you want to, and then make your own
controls.

I'd still like to make it easier to get at the all the native events
though...

I think you had once the idea to have the raw VideoIcon and an extra
ControlbarIcon. That would be perfect for me. Than you have the free
choice where to put it (above the video, below, over). Ideally the
ControlbarIcon would have properties like pauseButton:
"media/myPauseButton", pauseButtonOver: "media/myPauseButtonOver". The
question remains on how to tie VideoIcon and ControlbarIcon together.
I'm not a big fan of giving IconIDs to all the icons. Perhaps it would
be possible that the ControlbarIcon detects if it has a parent
VideoIcon?
