title: iphone - overlay transparent image on movieplayer
body: <p>I've been able to successfully overlay an image on top of the movieplayer (see the MoviePlayer example from Apple).</p>
  
  <p>However, I would like the effect of having no controls on the screen, and when the screen is touched, my overlay appears.</p>
  
  <p>My thought was to create an overlay with an image that is a transparent png file, and cover the entire display. When this transparent image is touched, the overlay control will appear.</p>
  
  <p>All is working, with the exception of showing a transparent image over the movieplayer. Even with a transparent png, the image shows as all black. If I change the alpha for the UIView (overlay) the touch events are not recognized.</p>
  
  <p>I'm obviously new to working directly with drawrect() so any insight would be appreciated.</p>
