How to Play a SMIL File?
To view a SMIL presentation, you will need a SMIL player installed on your computer. Apple’s Quicktime player, Windows Media Player, and RealNetworks RealPlayer support SMIL. It would be convenient to show SMIL files natively in web browser, eliminating the requirement of a separate SMIL player or plug-in. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has limited support for SMIL. The open-source Mozilla project is incorporating SMIL, but the progress is slow. Note: The rest of this tutorial uses IE 5.5 or later, to demonstrate SMIL.
