Oh the endless links and animations

Ok for some reason this post disappeared reverted to draft, as far as I'm aware this wasn't something I did, but hey I'm new to this so it's a shock I haven't accidentally deleted the entire thing...

Had play around today trying to get all the ward based animations put into the overhead scenario so that I have that all out of the way, whilst I have a chance to sit down and just hash it all out.
Biggest difficulty: Inability to start a new slide where the old slide left off.
This is an absolute nightmare, means I've had to resort to placing my characters close to where they should be then flicking between slides in slideshow mode to nudge them with my arrow keys into as close a spot as possible. I mean normally if I were making a presentation with animations 'pretty close' would normally be ok for me and I would just accept it, however since this is actually going to be a learning resource I don't think it would be too nice for people to be working through it and have characters jumping a millimetre or two every time the slide changes.
Then there are the hyperlinks, links to provide immediate feedback. This isn't as bad as the animations but it just takes time to remember to put all the links in and also to ensure they're linked up to the right slide, otherwise you have to go back find the link and start again. For the majority of responses it's lucky that I can just link a number of buttons to one slide as a piece of feedback, but as I get further into the resource, slightly more detailed and less generic feedback will need to be provided so I can see this becoming an issue.
But anyway here's a video of some of the animations I've created today for you guys to have a look at...
