Theatrical app, route to take?

Hi everyone, Basically a friend of mine runs an amateur dramatics group she'd like to get publicity for an had an idea for an app that would go thusly; The app would start with a list of scenes to choose from, the user would pick one and a series of images with the theatre design and set would be shown, then you'd see the scene playing out; a picture of an actor in-costume speaking a line and hear the line being spoken, then transitions to another picture of a different actor speaking, line being spoken and so on until the scene extract was done and it fades to black. Once it's done buttons can take the user to the next scene, the menu or the exit. I said I'd help as I've done a couple of basic apps before and they can't afford anyone professional but I'm a bit at a loss with this; it's not an ebook because it just cycles through the scene, but it's not just a series of videos either. I'm somewhat at a loss as from which angle to start tackling it from and wondered if anyone (better than me) had any ideas?

Sounds sort of simple, actually. 1) Menu with image (or MWIAdvanced) for a nice graphic, and a list of your scenes... 2) PDF Plugin, or HTML Plugin with graphics or documents setup to display the scene details. The PDF document could have several pages, or the HTML Document can be lengthy if need be. 3) Configure the top right navbar button of the plugin to display 'next' and take you to the next scene. Something like that should be able to be completed with the plugins available. Cheers! -- Smug
