First off, great site… It's given me the push to reallt delve into iphone dev (which for an artist is damn scray). I've researched this topic, and have lots of 'pieces' but I can't seem to bring it together. Any help wou;d really be appreciated.
The simplest example would be a simple Powerpoint presentation. Image on the background of each view (subview), a text layer on top, and two buttons(prev/next) to flip from view to view. I've seen lots of examples for 2 screen flips (like a Utility app), but what if you had 20 screens/views to flip thru?
There's more that I'd want to do, but I can research adding narration, transitions…blah blah blah. My guess is, the answer is somewhere between NSImageViews and UIViews. But it isn't gelling.
Thanks,
Brendang

Brendang,
You can do this by creating multiple view controllers. So for example – say you have 4 pages that you want to navigate through, each with buttons for next and previous and a button to go directly to page 1. Each view controller imports and references the view controller for the page before, after and for the first page. Create 3 buttons for each view and connect with methods to display the particular view that you want to call.

Sorry for the delay getting back and thanking you. Your idea is simple yet perfect. Even a code-impaired chimp such as myself should be able to make that work…
best,
