Hi Daniel, Glad you found the current work interesting; I'm hoping the next stage will be much more so. I've completed some pretty powerful features for the timingframework project and an article on them; I'm just waiting for a publishing date at the end of the month before I push the next rev of the timingframework code to the project site. Specifically, the next version will have such features as property setters, keyValues/keyTimes/keySplines, and acceleration/ deceleration. All of these additions should make the timing framework much more powerful as well as enabling easier integration with SMIL concepts and capabilities. Thanks for the pointers and information; lots of good stuff out there! Chet.
