I'm using real player.

I'm trying something easier:

http://pastebin.ca/561171

i click on gong_small and gong_small disappear and section1_image appear, then i click on section1_image and section1_image disappear and gong_small appear, then i click on gong_small and section1_image appear but gong_small doesn't disappear.

SMIL is driving me crazy. It's almost a week i'm testing things and i can't understand how SMIL's brain works..

The aim is to do an interactive presentation, but if neither those simple interactions works, i really can't do much :(
Any help or any code example is really appreciated.
