Movie Controller Functions


Managing Controller Attributes

Movie controller components provide a number of functions that allow your application to control the display attributes of a movie controller. For example, you can detach the controller from its movie, so that the controller and movie can be managed as separate graphics entities. In addition, movie controller components provide a number of functions that allow you to work with a controller's boundary rectangles and regions. For a complete discussion of these rectangles and regions, see "Spatial Properties," which begins on page 2-6.

The MCSetControllerAttached function lets you control whether the movie controller is attached to its movie. The MCIsControllerAttached function allows you to determine if a controller is attached to its movie.

You can use the MCSetControllerPort and MCGetControllerPort functions to work a movie controller's graphics port.

The MCSetVisible and MCGetVisible functions enable you to control the visibility of the movie controller.

The MCSetControllerBoundsRect and MCGetControllerBoundsRect functions help you work with a movie controller's boundary rectangle. You can use the MCGetControllerBoundsRgn and MCGetControllerWindowRgn functions if the controller is not rectangular. You can position a controller and its movie separately by calling the MCPositionController function.
