Question

I’m working on an iOS game that has an intro video. How do I play the video full screen without:

1) user controls like play/pause being visible

2) touches like double-tap or pinching changing the video’s scale/zoom?

To disable taps on the video, can I just add a blank UIView overtop of the movie player view? How would I do that?

Answer 1

I went with adding a “blank” view overtop the MPMoviePlayerController. This is how I set it up. Didn’t have to mess with event handlers.

mBlankView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:viewFrame];
mBlankView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[mBlankView setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];
[mBlankView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[window addSubview:mBlankView];    

viewFrame contains the size of the MPMoviePlayerController.
