Hi, in SMIL2.0 you can use wallclock-sync: http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-timing.html#Timing-WallclockSyncValueSyntax here is an example, which will show an image on June 26th 2001, at 13:15:52 UTC. <body begin="wallclock( 2001-06-26T13:15:32.0Z )"> <img src="test.gif"> </body> I think you have to be careful with the wallclock-sync values. The parent time containers (par/seq...) will restrict it, as in the following example: <seq begin="2s" end="4s"> <img begin="wallclock( 2001-06-26T13:15:32.0Z )"> </seq> I don't think the example will work, because the end time for the seq element will cut off the image (unless the presentation is played so that the wallclock time is within the seq begin and end times).. - Kari Pihkala > forwarded to mailing list www-smil@w3.org > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rares Tohanean" <raresh@raftelecom.net> > Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 10:46 AM > Subject: Absolute timing in SMIL > > > > Hi!
