How To: Show several images in sequence to the user at a particular point.
Sometimes you may want to show more than just one image to the user. There are several ways of doing this:
Using a slideshow
A slideshow is a sequence of images and/or videos, a bit like a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. They are simple to put together in the mscape maker and you can add an audio as a background to them.

Using HTML or Flash
Both of these can be used to put together a sequence of images. They are more complex to create and they depend on using other software but they could be quicker if you already have experience with them.
They also offer the ability to do more complex things with sequences of images such as allowing the user to control the timing of the sequence etc.

Using hotspots in images
A hotspot is a rectangular part of an image that the user can click on. Importing an image and adding one large hotspot is pretty easy.
It would be possible to set up a hotspot that loaded a second image when the user clicked on it, and then to repeat this to create a chain of images that would load the next one when clicked.
This would be quite fiddly to set up and it would be difficult to adjust the order if required, but it could be easier than using HTML or Flash if you are unfamiliar with them.
