You can, if you set the alwaysBuffer property of the player to true.
When alwaysBuffer is true, you can layer other objects on top of
players.
Not impossible. As I mentioned earlier, Apple demonstrated a browser plug-in
for HyperCard. SuperCard had a similar plug-in. Such a facility would
dramatically increase the value of writing in Rev. Quite magical, indeed.

Supercard's plugin - Roadster was extremely buggy and Mac-only.
Hypercard was demonstrated as becoming integrated with Quicktime - not
quite the same as a browser plugin and no guarantee of anything in

Both efforts ultimately were total failures for one reason or another,
