displaying a graphic using timecode in markup

My markup is such to display a graphic during feature play...

<timing clock="page">
<seq>
<cue select="id('Survivor')" begin="00:01:00:00" end="00:01:10:00">
<set style:opacity="1"/>
</cue>
</seq>
</timing>
</head>
<body>

<div id="funCaptions" style:position="absolute" >
<object id="Survivor" type="image/png"
style:width="582px" style:height="323px"
style:x="1250px" style:y="350px"
style:position="absolute" style:anchor="startBefore"

style:displayAlign="center"
style:opacity="0"
src="SurvivorTrans.png"

/>
</div>

</body>

</root>

I thought this would be an easy task. However, the graphic only shows up once and will not show if I fast forward or rewind back to the timecode.

    Use a title application instead of a playlist application - then you can use the title clock.

    based on a past thread...

    According to the HD DVD specification (Annex Z.2.2), Playlist Applications may not use the title clock. Although the current version of the Toshiba player/emulator does allow this, because the default clock of a timing section is the title clock, not specifying either the application clock or the page clock when authoring results in a disc that will break in future versions of the Toshiba player.

    Is there an alternate method in markup or do I have to resort to script Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Set your clock to "title", page and application clocks do not correspond to a particular title timeline time.
