Actually, how are you using frames here?  If these objects are from
different files, then they can't sync -- you can only sync between
objects in the same file.  Frames are becoming considered bad practice
anyway, even in non-SMIL HTML.  Much (if not all) frame use in HTML
can be replaced by a single HTML file, and in XHTML+SMIL this
unification is often even easier.  Use the begin attribute I sent
earlier and put the objects in one file.  Replace the frame
positioning with CSS absolute positioning or, if you must, tables.
