Thanks John and Julian! Once I get my ideas fleshed out John I'll post some

You do it using media -> flash movie, and set an init object, then load an
.html file instead of a swf (the init object is what trips the code to
display this rather than the swf, so you need to sety one, even if just a
dummy - it also allows you to pass json into the html page for you to use in
the content):

 



 

Then you get your custom content loaded up:

So here come my (inevitable) dumb questions.. What specifically would I use
to build a custom menu? JS? And.how would I 'insert' it to XOT?

 

I was planning to use the desktop xerte so I become reasonably used to
working with it and inserting what I needed, but since it seems to be
sidelined, I need to be sure I can 'insert' a menu, custom pages, and some
code to read/write to a proprietary dbase in HTML5 XOT. Does that all look
doable? I'm willing to put in the effort unless I'm really swimming against
the current here.

A custom menu page and some global js to handle the page and state
information.

Something to sense when the page is a section end and on the next "Next
Page", set some state info and then redirect back to page 1/menu. 

The state info can be used to hide /reveal checkmarks or what have you.
