Claus Wahlers has done some prototype work on a SWF-based SMIL renderer:

There was conversation back towards 1998 of rendering SMIL instructions 
in Shockwave, but not many people found it worth the time investment to 
produce it... here's a Google cached record of one such discussion:

Do you have an idea of who would find it advantageous to structure their 
presentations in SMIL? Working backwards from the user-scenario might be 
a way to actually move things forward.
