For several years now I've enjoyed doing little things like
http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/SMILscript5.svg in which an animated object traverses a path (by letting its x and y coordinates over time given by the x y of the path as traversed ) and then when the SMIL is done it triggers script which reinvents the object (metamorphosis) into something new and then restarts the animation. The above works in Opera, Firefox and IE/ASV but not in Safari or Chrome (as their versions of webkit do not yet seem to support SMIL-script nor script-SMIL/beginElement) nor IE9 . The problem is that, about a third of the time, while the animation is stalled for a split second (to allow JavaScript to think a moment), a small ghost of the image pops up in the upper left hand corner of the screen before it collects its instructions from SMIL. I've tried changing the visibility of the object as in http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/SMILscript5a.svg ( actually the attempt seems to help reduce the frequency at least in some browsers from perhaps 1/3 to maybe 1/5, or am I imagining) but it still creates that annoying flicker on apparently random iterations. Any way you can think of to expunge the flicker?
