Answer 1

First add Your label as a child of Your Screen/View/Scene where You also added Video Node but make sure to add it after Your Video Node in order to render the Label on top of it. So for example, in You Screen/View/Scene, Video Node should be child with the index 0 and Label should be child with index 1. In Screen/View/Scene .xml add:

<Label
  id="testLabel"
  height="44"
  width="0"
  font="font:MediumBoldSystemFont"
  text = "Application Development Made Easy!"
  horizAlign = "left"
  vertAlign = "center"
  translation="[318,8]" />

In Screen/View/Scene .brs add: m.testLabel = m.top.findNode("testLabel") Then add a onKey function to Screen/View/Scene .brs:

function onKeyEvent(key as String, press as Boolean) as Boolean

  handled = false
  if press = true and key = "play"
      if videoNode.state = "playing"
        m.testLabel.visible = true
      else if videoNode.state = "paused"
        m.testLabel.visible = false
      end if
      handled = true
  end if

  return handled
end function
