Hi there,
Well, your tests were not working mainly because there are
a programming mistake. In the W3C SMIL language (version 1.0)
you are not able to change a clip source by linking to it
even from a RealText file. With RealText you could only link
to another SMIL file or other clip source that will play on
RealPlayer, not in a region; link to a Web Page; or pass any
command to RealPlayer (as play, pause, stop and seek time).
You still have some options: wait for SMIL v.2.0 (a.k.a. Boston),
use something like the example below with 5 SMIL files one
for each video and 1 RT file linking to the SMIL files, or
use a variation of the SMIL that works only on RP7 building
an index file that open the video files on another window.
SMIL File (1 for each video)
<smil>
<head>
<layout>
<root-layout background-color="white" height="298" width="418"/>
<region id="test1reg" left="0" top="52" height="150" width="106"
z-index="0" background-color="white"/>
<region id="iogreg" left="141" top="3" height="17" width="130" z-index="2"
background-color="white"/>
<region id="iogvideoreg" left="119" top="53" height="245" width="299"
z-index="3" background-color="white"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par>
<textstream id="color" src="test1.rt" region="test1reg" fill="freeze"/>
<textstream id="iog" src="iog.rt" region="iogreg" fill="freeze"/>
//change the name of the video below
<video src="video1.rm" region="iogvideoreg" fill="remove"/>
</par>
</body>
</smil>
And 1 RealText file (same for all SMIL files)
<window type="generic" height="150" width="100"/>
Part 1: <a href="test1.smi" target="_player"> <b>Test </b> </a><hr/>
Part 2: <a href="test2.smi" target="_player"> <b>Test </b> </a><hr/>
Part 3: <a href="test3.smi" target="_player"> <b>Test </b> </a><hr/>
Part 4: <a href="test4.smi" target="_player"> <b>Test </b> </a><hr/>
Part 5: <a href="test5.smi" target="_player"> <b>Test </b> </a><hr/>
</window>
I hope this could help...
Cheers,
