Playback/scrubber bar will not disappear during my lessons

Hello all,

I'm having an issue where the video playback bar will not go away during video lessons. I've tried everything I can think of: moving my mouse offscreen, jumping back an forth between fullscreen mode, clicking elsewhere on the page, etc. I'm running the latest version of Chrome and Flash, on a Win7 PC.

This creates difficulty, because it blocks entire lines of code from being visible during the lessons. If I get a failing grade on my next code challenge, I'm blaming the playback bar at the parent-teacher conferences.

I had the same problem but found if I moved my mouse over the video for a second then moved it away it would make the bar disappear :)

Thanks for the advice, Christine. In this case, I've been trying that as well to no avail. It has worked for me in the past, though.
