ABSTRACT:
A computer system, having a graphical user interface for authoring and playing a multimedia presentation having one or more multimedia events, displays a representation of a story, including a representation of a start position, indicating the beginning of the multimedia presentation, a representation of an end position, indicating the end of the multimedia presentation, and a representation of a unidirectional path line connecting the start position and the end positions. The representation of at least one icon, associated with a source of multimedia material, may be linked to the path line. The link, called a call spot, represents a call to the multimedia, allowing icons to be shared by many presentations or to be shown at different times in the same presentation. The multimedia presentation starts at the start position, plays the multimedia material represented by the at least one icon, and then continues along the unidirectional path line and completes at the end position.
