Suppose you could produce this kind of sequence easily without a vast amount of programming effort.  We've thought of using it for sales pitches, training and prototyping - how many other uses can you think of?

We can produce this kind of sequence relatively easily, using some tools we've developed. As there are about 20 rollovers (changes from one picture to another) in this sequence, programming them individually would have been laborious and we'd have had to do the same amount of work again if we wanted to produce another sequence like this. So we developed a toolkit which enables us to build a "script" for the sequence, which each line specifies:

• which part of the scene is to change;
• its new contents;
• how long to wait before the next action in the "script".

The toolkit also provides facilities to:
