Yes, there are more than a few presentation packages out for the Amiga that
handle similarly to Hypercard and Authorware.  For one, CanDo is a good
package, well updated, and easy to use.

AmigaVision is also a good package, that will basically do anything you want
it to do, everything from simple slideshows that you can whip together with
different wipes and transitions.. Something like that will take you 3 minutes
to prepare. AmigaVision chops the workload down into a series of icons you can
connect in a flowchart type fashion. Has full support for all graphics modes,
sound formats, even animation formats.It also allows user-definable hotspots
on your graphics, laserdisk/cd control. A very VERY smooth package.

Though im not a veteran user of AmigaVision, I was, nevertheless, able to
throw together a a slideshow of 15 or so pictures..Took me all of 5 minutes of
point-and-click to set up the program flow and set the whole presentation into
action.

It has way too many options for me to go into here, so I siuggest you either
ask around about it, or pick up a copy. its a multimedia must.
