Subject: Re: SMIL and JavaScript???
SMIL does not support javascript any more than HTML supports javascript.
SMIL is a file format. The RealPlayer does not support javascript, so it
is not possible using SMIL alone to change images on a mouse-over.
It would be possible for you to write some datatype plugins that would
support swapping images when a region gets a mouse-over, but that is
probably beyond the scope of your project.
The current version of SMIL does give you the ability to change images
according to a timeline-- just not via user input.
You can embed SMIL in a web browser by embedding the RealPlayer ActiveX
control and Netscape plug-in in the web page. I suggest you read the docs
for more information on embedding the RealPlayer.
Look at chapter eight of the content creation guide:
