Using containers to group items
By using containers, you can determine how a player application will play items.
SMIL Sequence Container Plays a group of media items one at a time in sequence.
SMIL Parallel Container Plays a group of media items simultaneously.
SMIL Exclusive Container Isolates items from the main timeline.
Exclusive Containers Let you control playback of the included items through user interaction.
When you create a new SMIL document, GoLive automatically adds a default Parallel Container to the presentation
and displays the container in the Timeline Editor. If you want the items in your presentation to play simultaneously,
you can simply add items to the default Parallel Container. However, if you want the items to play in sequence, delete
the default Parallel Container and either add a Sequence Container or don’t include a container in your presentation.
(By default, a SMIL presentation plays items in sequence if they aren’t in a container.)
You can also combine the two types of containers into one presentation, one container after the other—for example,
youcan play onegroup of itemsinsequence, andthenplayanother groupofitems simultaneously.You canevennest
any type of container within any other type of container.
