Abstract
An interactive applications generator is utilized to generate an interactive application environment for use on a single server multi-client network computer system. The interactive applications generator permits a user to define a graphical user interface (GUI), that contains one or more display screens, for a customized interactive application environment. The interactive applications generator contains a screen template editor, a media frame editor, a screen editor, and an interactive presentation editor. The screen template editor is utilized to create generic screen templates, that contain generic screen template elements. The media frame editor is utilized to generate media frames by combining multimedia component elements in a time synchronized manner. The screen editor is utilized to generate the display screens including assigning functionality. In order to create a unique instance for each display screen for a particular interactive applications environment, the screen editor references generic screen templates and media frames. The interactive presentation editor is utilized to create the hierarchical structures that defines presentation of the display screens for the particular interactive presentation environment.
