Subject: Re: SMIL and JavaScript???
Thanks for the great insight. Let me ask about the SMIL time line. Is is
possible
to trigger javascript functions at certain points during a presentation?
This is exactly
where I am stuck. All I am trying to do is set a powerpoint image in a window
and have the real video clip change the pix as the file is played.
I am also trying to add a form drop down to select different starting
points in the
real video file. What is the best javascript function for this? (I am
reading all the docs
but on a real tight deadline. I appreciate all your help everyone!)...
