Learning To SMILe - Bedtime Reading (Page 8 of 8 )
Obviously, this is just the tip of the iceberg – SMIL 2.0 offers an immense amount of new functionality related to the timing and sychronization of media clips. I've just shown you the basics in this tutorial – there are many more attributes in the SMIL 2.0 specification, covering everything from animation to transition effects, and they allow you to perform some pretty advanced media manipulation using very simple XML-based constructs.
In order to find out more about SMIL's capabilities, I'd strongly suggest you spend some time at the following links:
