Hi, thanks for the reply. Actually, I recently decided to rewrite some of the file and took advantage of one of SVG's media attributes to create both a play and stop button, although I wasn't able to create a pause button. You can see it here (press play for the video to run; pressing play after pressing stop will cause the video to restart): http://raynenamibia.googlepages.com/video-reflect2.svg
However, now I'm trying to add a progress-meter slider (allowing the user to slide between portions of the video) without scripting. Since SVG is compatible with other XML standards (including SMIL?), I'm wondering if there's some XForms stuff in the current SVG spec to allow for adding a progress slider widget into the file. However, if there are no such native resources in Opera's implementation of SVG, then what scripting will be needed for the creation of something similar to Apple.com's AJAX-based progressbar?
