Sorry to keep troubling those who have offered their help to me so far. I've got another little niggle which i know someone here will be able to help. What i want to do is group some objects together and get them *all* to fade (opacity) after a certain length of time. The code i'm using is:

<g id="scenary">

<set attributeType="CSS" attributeName="fill-opacity" to="0" begin="9s"/>

<set attributeType="CSS" attributeName="stroke-opacity" to="0" begin="9s"/>

<path style="fill: yellow; stroke-width: 1; stroke: lightbrown" d="M 0 392 C 16,386 266,376 2,292 z"/>

<path style="fill: brown; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1" d="M 36,218 C 7,236 11,321 20 326 L 37,324 C 36,319 16,237 43,219 z"/>

<path style="fill: green; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1" d="M 41 219 C 52,217 72,222 79,230 C 83,212 71,213 68,213 L 65,217 L 64,216 L 67,212 C 65,212 65,211 62 211 L 60,213 L 60,210 C 52,207 40,216 40,219 z"/>

<path style="fill: green; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1" d="M 40 219 C 28,214 18,217 8,225 C 8,217 19,210 20,211 L 22,213 L 23,210 C 23,208 26,208 28,210 L 28,213 L 30,208 C 40,212 38,217 40,219 z"/>

<rect style="fill: black; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1; stroke: #000000" x="14" y="302" width="6" height="1"/>

<rect style="fill: black; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1; stroke: #000000" x="14" y="297" width="6" height="1"/>

<rect style="fill: black; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1; stroke: #000000" x="14" y="282" width="5" height="1"/>

<rect style="fill: black; fill-opacity:1; stroke-width: 1; stroke: #000000" x="14" y="277" width="5" height="1"/>

</g>

The problem seems to be that it only applies this effect to the 1st object and not the whole group.

Any ideas? I did try having a group outside of the group and putting the animation in but it still only gets applied to the 1st object in the inner group.

Problem come from inheritance of property, you change fill-opacity for group, this apply to childs which HAVE NOT this property as your first object.
Remove fill-opacity from other objects and it will work for all objects in group.

Michel,

You don't have to repost full original post. It makes page too long.
Maybe do something like this:

Not full text. But, make as you want.
best,
