No, this is actually something I did For A Client. It's a multimedia
slideshow generation engine -- one that lets you create movies out of
Director movies. Kind of a repackaging of the entire Director UI --
or at least the more straightforward bits -- into a mini-multimedia
programming platform.
The idea behind it, basically, is that you have one master "library"
of slides and media objects from which end-users can construct
presentations by selecting from these "recipe" items. They cna select
the media nad slides in any order they wish; the idea is that they
have the option to rapidly construct graphic and media-rich
presentations (with no small degree of programmed interactivity) in
just a few minutes.
Trick is that the slides are editable only within some very narrow
constraints. This keeps the look and feel to a corporate standard,
and ensures that users with zero asthetic sensibility will not creat
green slides with magenta text.
They'll play back in "kiosk" fashion too, and are printable.
