//
// QTUtils_HideControllerButton
// Hide the specified button in the controller bar.
//
// Some explanation is probably useful here: the first thing to understand is that every VR movie has 
// TWO sets of movie controller flags: (1) a set of "control flags" and (2) a set of "explicit flags".
//
// The control flags work as documented in IM: QuickTime Components (pp. 2-20f) and in VRPWQTVR2.0 (pp. 2-23f):
// if a bit in the set of control flags is set (that is, equal to 1), then the associated action or property is
// enabled. For instance, bit 17 (mcFlagQTVRSuppressZoomBtns) means to suppress the zoom buttons. So, if that
// bit is set in a VR movie's control flags, the zoom buttons are NOT displayed. If that bit is clear, the zoom
// buttons are displayed.
//
// However, the QuickTime VR movie controller sometimes suppresses buttons even when those buttons 
// have not been explicitly suppressed in the control flags. For example, if a particular VR movie does not
// contain a sound track, then the movie controller automatically suppresses the speaker/volume button. Likewise,
// if a movie does contain a sound track, then the speaker/volume button is automatically displayed, again without
// regard to the actual value of bit 2 in the control flags.
//
// This might not be what you'd like to happen. For instance, if your application is playing a sound that it
// loaded from a sound resource, you might want the user to be able to adjust the sound's volume using the volume
// control. To do that, you need a way to *force* the speaker/volume button to appear. For this reason, the
// explicit flags were introduced.
//
// The explicit flags indicate which bits in the control flags are to be used explicitly (that is, taken at
// face value). If a certain bit is set in a movie's explicit flags, then the corresponding bit in the control
// flags is interpreted as the desired setting for the feature (and the movie controller will not attempt to
// do anything "clever"). In other words, if bit 17 is set in a movie's explicit flags and bit 17 is clear in
// that movie's control flags, then the zoom buttons are displayed. Similarly, if bit 2 is set in a movie's 
// explicit flags and bit 2 is clear in that movie's control flags, then the speaker/volume button is displayed,
// whether or not the movie contains a sound track.
//
// The final thing to understand: to get or set a bit in a movie's explicit flags, you must set the flag 
// mcFlagQTVRExplicitFlagSet in your call to mcActionGetFlags or mcActionSetFlags. To get or set a bit in a 
// movie's control flags, you must clear the flag mcFlagQTVRExplicitFlagSet in your call to mcActionGetFlags 
// or mcActionSetFlags. Note that when you use the defined constants to set values in the explicit flags, the 
// constant names might be confusing. For instance, setting the bit mcFlagSuppressSpeakerButton in a movie's
// explicit flags doesn't cause the speaker to be suppressed; it just means: "use the actual value of the
// mcFlagSuppressSpeakerButton bit in the control flags".
//
// Whew! Any questions? Okay, then now you'll understand how to hide or show a button in the controller bar:
// set the appropriate explicit flag to 1 and set the corresponding control flag to the desired value. And
// you'll understand how to let the movie controller do its "clever" work: clear the appropriate explicit flag.
//
// There is one final twist to this story: the mcFlag bit for the custom controller button indicates that the
// custom button should be shown, not (like all other button flags) that the button should be suppressed. So
// we need to treat the custom button specially. Sigh.
