- 3. A method according to either preceding claim, characterized in that said synchronization command included in a first file (60) is repeated identically in the other file or files (70, 80) of the multimedia document so that execution of the synchronization command at the beginning of the first file is concomitant with execution of the first synchronization command at the beginning of the other file or files (70, 80).
