Subject: Re: Linking to a SMIL file (Page 109, 6.1 G2 Prod Guide)

I have been running into the same difficulties.

I found that is par's are on the same page with sequences

<seq>
<par id="1"></par>
<par id="2"></par>
<par id="3"></par>
<par id="4"></par>
<par id="5"></par>
</seq>

That you can link this way internally:

<a href="#1"><img scr="" region="1"></a>
<a href="#2"><img scr="" region="2"></a>
<a href="#3"><img scr="" region="3"></a>
<a href="#4"><img scr="" region="4"></a>
<a href="#5"><img scr="" region="5"></a>


<seq>
<par id="1"></par>
<par id="2"></par>
<par id="3"></par>
<par id="4"></par>
<par id="5"></par>
</seq>


But not like this:

<a href="some.smil#2"><img scr="" region="2"></a>

What if I wanted to link to a seq with a par specific to information I may
need in a relationship. I was unsucessful doing this.

Any Idea's or input appreciated
