Subject: Linking to a SMIL file (Page 109, 6.1 G2 Prod Guide)
I have not been able to use <par id="starting_point" as a means to =
link to a portion of a SMIL file. The linkage starts the SMIL target at =
the first par or seq section despite the presence of a targeted area =
further into the file.
Here a code snippets to reproduce the problem.
<smil>
<!-- startdemo.smi -->
<body>
<par>
<textstream src="starttext.rt" dur="2s" />
</par>
<par id="link">
<textstream src="linktext.rt" dur="2s" />
</par>
</body>
</smil>
*************************
<smil>
<!-- linkdemo.smi -->
<body>
<a href="startdemo.smi#link" >
<textstream src="click.rt" />
</a>
</body>
</smil>
***********************
<window>
<!-- starttext.rt-->
<font color="#000000" face="Arial">
This is the start
</font>
</window>
******************
<window>
<!-- linktext.rt -->
<font color="#000000" face="Arial">
This is the link point
</font>
</window>
*******************
<window>
<!-- click.rt -->
<font color="#000000" face="Arial">
Click Here
</font>
</window>
I don't have a URL available but this code demonstrates the inability to
start a smil file using the ID attributes.
The www.virage.com My Logger Demo (code is available for download and is
very interesting) also fails to recognize the id attribute. Although they
have a flash-based hot spot that should return you to the menu section of
the initial demo.smi the menu hot spot starts the demo.smi "at the top" and
not at the link target.
