revBrowser madness

[Bob Sneidar]

I worked with revbrowser for a bit and made some inquiries. The revbrowser is not a proper Rev object. What it does is "draw" the video within the bounds of the rect you define. There are no rev events it will process. Anything happening within the bounds of that rect are ignored by Rev. That is why the RevBrowser example draws the rect inside a Rev window, with other controls outside the rect of the video. 

I wanted to make a full screen video that went away once the user clicked on the video, but alas, NO MOUSE CLICKS! No events inside the rect are processed, EVEN if there is a rev object "behind" the video rect! See? There is absolutely no interaction with the video rect at all.
