The seq element is a time-container element that specifies the order in which its child elements are played. Child media elements within the seq element are played in order, from the first element to the last. Other types of elements contained in the seq element are also activated in order.
In the following example, Song1.wma plays first, and is followed
by the seq element containing Song3.wma and Song4.wma. The
repeatCount attribute is set to 2
, meaning that
the two files within the seq element play in order twice.
Finally, Song2.wma plays.

<media src="Song1.wma"/>
<seq repeatCount="2">
<media src="Song3.wma"/>
<media src="Song4.wma"/>
</seq>
<media src="Song2.wma"/>
</smil>
