The author may need to prevent linked activities (particularly those that have a duration, such as triggering an audio sound) when not in normal playback mode. Conversly authors may need to apply overlays (e.g. chapter descriptions)when the user is scrbbing the timeline which would not be revealed during normal play. 43011 1 philipj 2010-12-03 09:00:41 +0000 Can you explain the use case in a bit more detail? Why isn't the seeking event enough to detect discontinuity? That's what I did to emulate the TimedTrack interface in <http://people.opera.com/philipj/2010/10/02/ovc/demos/track.js>, modulo a hack to make timeupdate trigger more often than what the spec requires. 53295 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:12:25 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
