<SMIL> do(duration){display video} </SMIL>

I wish to include SMIL/PGML like encoded characteristics in a file;
however, in addition I require some means to include rudamentary
programatic control.

For example, I need some method of saying things like repeat showing this
resource for ten minutes, or until this event. In addition, if the user
makes a selection then the cycle may have to abruptly stop and proceed to
something else. Your know - browser stuff.

I threw in a loop below:

<smil>
 <body>
  <par>
   <MyTemporalObjectTag src="myYaddaTalk.au" clip-begin="0s" clip-end="120"/>
   <ser>
    <MyTemporalObjectTag src="intro.html" clip-begin="0s" clip-end="60"/>
<loop duration="10m">
    <par>
     <MyTemporalObjectTag src="upper-left.gif" coor-x="0" coor-y="0"
clip-begin="10s"/>
     <MyTemporalObjectTag src="upper-right.gif" coor-x="0.50" coor-y="0"
clip-begin="20s"/>
     <MyTemporalObjectTag src="lower-left.gif" coor-x="0" coor-y="0.50"
clip-begin="30s"/>
     <MyTemporalObjectTag src="lower-right.gif" coor-x="0.50" coor-y="0.50"
clip-begin="40s"/>
    </par>
</loop>
   </ser>
  </par>
 </body>
</smil>

Is there some established means to do this?

Thanks
