Can I mask functions through the Skin?

Postby kmakice » 18 Aug 2008 22:47

I'm trying to use this open source code to alter the video player for a research project. Instead of adding functions, I'm hoping to greatly prune what is there. Specifically, I am looking to edit a video player so it can only pause-play, with not way to go back to the beginning and start over or skip ahead.

Is this possible to do from a presentational POV, by editing a skin so only the pause-play are visible?

Or do I have to find my way into the code to remove functionality there? (And if so, is there a road map for this code?)

I'm looking for the quickest way to get this research tool created. It doesn't matter if the player still technically does everything it currently does; I just don't want the user to be able to do more than pause-play.

Any ideas?

Create a dummy skin that has just a play/pause button.
