Playback position
The actual playback position may be controlled using the slider.svg file. When added to a project, the slider
can show the progress of a media file, and it can also control the position in time in that media file by moving
it back and forth. The slider.svg file may also be used on text boxes (for particularly long text boxes) and for
various custom media.
