MPMoviePlayerController - how to stop it hiding other items?

Question

MPMoviePlayerController works almost as i'd like it to, except that it covers over any other on screen items, for example my navigation bar. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Answer 1

Its player is based on a UIView, like many othEr things.

Have you tried telling objecTs behind it to get in front, with the following :

• bringSubviewToFront:
• sendSubviewToBack:
• insertSubview:atIndex:
• insertSubview:aboveSubview:
• insertSubview:belowSubview:
• exchangeSubviewAtIndex:withSubviewAtIndex:

Since your views are already inserted into your superview, you could easily call bringSubviewToFront: once for each view in whatever order you like.
