Thank you! This works well. I can see that I need to learn a lot more about SMIL. It also seems to at least begin to address another issue that comes up from time to time: people who want to archive interactive multimedia presentations. They have the same sort of problem (do you archive a DVD-sized lump and make users download it before they can view it?) with the added complexity of navigating the internal structure of the presentation. But a presentation that is written in, or converted to, SMIL should trigger the user's SMIL-enabled player (assuming that he has one) and Just Work. (Of course that opens another can of worms: a litter of bitstreams for every image, sound, video, and text in the presentation, plus getting meaningful statistics for the item when one viewing could result in a hundred fetches of its various bitstreams.) -- Mark H.
