Choose the location for the playback controls by clicking on one of
the Position icons. You can place the controls on the left, top, bot-
tom, or right side of the movie viewer screen.
Tip:
Make sure you preview your movie with the playback controls
to ensure that your controls don't cover important captions or other
buttons. Some playback controls are much larger than others, and
switching controls without testing can give unexpected results. You'll
also want to think carefully about choosing controls that omit, for
example, an exit button, particularly for a full-screen movie that may
have no other way of ending early if the viewer needs it to.

Choose the layout of the playback controls within the location you
specified by choosing an option from the Layout drop-down list.
These options will vary depending on the location you chose. For
example, if you chose a vertical orientation (left side or right side),
you'll be able to specify whether the controls should be on the top
or bottom of that side. You also have the Stretched option, which
displays the controls from one edge of the screen to the other. As
you specify these options, the preview panel reflects the changes
as you make them.

viewer pauses it).
Rewind—Restarts the movie from the beginning.
Forward—Displays the next slide.
Closed Captioning—Displays an icon that activates text

Back—Displays the previous slide.
Close/Exit—Closes the movie window.
Mute—Displays an audio control icon.
Progressbar—This is the visual representation of where the
viewer is within the movie. For example, if the viewer is look-
ing at slide 10 of 100, the progress bar will display across one-
tenth of the available bar length. If the viewer is looking at
