I have been attempting to insert SMIL in my MMS messages and have really gotten down to working with SMIL well.

Unfortunately when they arive on the phone I dont get the presentation just the message details then the attachments. Is it possible that you could kindly give me a ling or something that leads to an example of how an MMS with SMIL should look like.

Khwezi,

Make sure the phone actually supports SMIL. Send a message from the phone to itself and try to build some sort of presentation.

I've attached an example that a friend of mine sent me quite some time ago.

This file just has the individual message components of an MMS with a SMIL presentation. The "tomslot.hdr" file is for use with MMSCOMP to build a compiled binary MMS file ... you can ignore it if you are not using MMSCOMP.

Thanks Bryce,

But I meant a sample MM7 composition, very simple, all I want to see is where is should be placed. I am aware that it will be rendered by the phone that suports it making reference to the files named in the content ID's of the part headers.

The only thing I am really confused on is where it should go in the multipart feature, does it go as a second part right under SOAP bearing the SOAP defined content id (with embeded attachments - I have already run into a problem with that), or do I put it a one of the embeded attachments (ran into trouble with that too).

PS: I took a look at the file, nice SMIL timing. Thanks for your help.

Generally it would be in the attachment. The second part that follows the SOAP content.

If you have a SMIL, it would be Content-type: multipart/related; type=application/smil; start=<content-id-of-smil>.

Whereas without SMIL, it is simply Content-type: multipart/mixed.
