Making screenshots into a clickable sequence of menus?

[MadAd]

I have several screenshots of different levels of a menu system and want to create a simulation so a user can click through the screenshots as if they are in the app itself.

I understand it requires designating button areas to link to other shots, and I understand it wont actually do anything, its just to simulate clicks through menus to other screens, display them, click to other screens from there etc.

Then I need a simple way to show it to others publicly, so they can have a play, but without having to send them a package or exe if it can be avoided. It occurs to me that a basic website might work and I have some code experience but I dont know enough java or php to create anything useful yet.

Any ideas on a quick to learn tool so I dont have to reinvent any wheels? Thanks a lot.

PowerPoint, using hotspots, will do exactly what you want.

Yep, or a web site with links/buttons configured for the locations of the menu items.

You can movie a Screen Capture at 30FPS and 1080P with something like Camtasia. Separate the Capture App from the Trial version which works if you have relatively fast and modern Hardware and keep whatever frames you want using say the XviD Codec to Capture - It's all Free.

Screen Shots (Print Screen) are typically CLP Board and have to be opened with something like ACDSee or Paint Shop to save them as JPG, or BMP's in order to make a slide show.

MS frowns on this type of activity as it breaches the confines of copy-write although, as mentioned, MS Power Point will do it you want to install, pay for and register Office Components.

A lot of members swear by InfranView - I believe them - However I've really never got into it, primarily, as the program doesn't not have a Movie Screen Capture but converting CLP to JPG is probably there. and either MS PhotoViewer or InfraView will Slid Show.

Windows has a built in program called Steps Recorder that may work for you.

+1 for Powerpoint.

Excel can also work for this, with form controls that you can put under the picture.
