"Interactive movie" tools?

I hope this is the right section of the forum for this post. I would like to create five or six animated scenes - during each scene the user would have the option to click on a symbol or button that would take them to another scene. Based on what I've seen I think AS would be great to create the individual scenes, but what program should I use to bundle these scenes together and allow the interactivity? Is Flash my only option, and if so, is there a basic (simple) piece of software to accomplish this? Is there some other more basic slideshow program that could do this? Should I be looking at something different than AS for this purpose? Thanks for the help.

Any slideshow or presentation tool should do.

Adventure Maker v4.5.2 Free Edition

I know it will take pictures, not sure about movies.

Animate in AS and export swf to Flash. The coding for making a slideshow is very easy.

1.Import/Create an animation at frame 1 on the Flash timeline.

2.Create a button and insert:

on (press) {gotoAndPlay (1);

}

3. Repeat adjusting "gotoAndPlay (?)" for whatever frame your new animation starts, ie, "gotoAndPlay (12)"

Swish (swishmax) is a relatively simple Flash clone. I don't think they have a free version. Although they do offer old (by default simpler) versions which may have a 30 day trial.
