revBrowser madness

[Jerry Daniels]

Simon,

I just tried this in the Rodeo embedded web browser and it works every time! Amazingly wonderful hack that causes no side-effects that I can perceive. Much better than my earlier hack, which required more care and feeding. Your approach here is easily implemented and maintained.

Bravo!

Best,

Jerry Daniels

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.
