Abstract
A technique for permitting the creation of multimedia titles in the form of flip books or stories comprising individual scenes includes simplified techniques for establishing navigation both internal and external navigation. The present invention provides a part or framework usable in a power tool environment which enables individual scenes within a multimedia story being created to be linked directly to parts or applications external to the multimedia story such that processing can jump directly from a scene to an external application or part. Additionally, the present invention provides improved navigation between scenes within a multimedia story and the ability to embed stories within individual scenes of the story.
