Hi,
I am the creator of the Geometry Wars Guide. Click and I want to make it more professional. Currently I use OpenOffice for the slides and Windows movie maker for the slide show production. But I would like to have the video more professional, say when you get to the url I would like a background screen with options like:
Kind of like a video game start menu etc.
*Start
*about
*etc.
and I would like them to all be interactive, so when you click start the movie starts and plays and when you hit about a page displays who made the movie etc. How would I achieve this?
*also how would I be able to insert an arrow button after each slide --> so that when the user feels that he has read the screen that he can just press --> and go to the next slide?
Would I use flash?
Is there anything free/cheap that can get this done?

Thanks always,
JTM

So I was told by Starman that my best bet was to use Javascript, what programs do I need to run this etc. I understand I can get scripts online, but what and how would I need to achieve an interactive slide show.
