A flexible and hierarchical user interface, defined using a data definition language, such as the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), is disclosed. In one embodiment, such an interface is defined by at least one file in the data definition language. A base file defines a basic look and behavior of the interface. The file also includes data, such an multimedia data, for access via the interface. One or more extension files modify the basic look and behavior of the interface as initially defined by the base file. In one particular embodiment, the interface includes a number of components organized into a number of layers. Each layer has a view state that is changeably selectable between visible and hidden.
