I’m trying to make something similar to the [Vimeo](http://vimeo.com/1193942) video player but I can’t figure out how to make the video controls visible only when you roll over the video clip. I tried creating a movieclip in the background the same size as the video that changes the video controls alpha to 100 onRollOver, but when I roll over the controls, they disappear again. I guess I can add \_alpha=100 to the controls onRollOver, but is there a better way to control this functionality?
