Hi!
This it is an example little elaborated, but it can give some idea

A way can be to use masks and child movies. A mask by each keyframe, Must synchronize the beginning and the end of each child movie.

Its possible to directly make masks of Text with the tools of Mask an area. Using Add to line or curves segment. I’ve tried this but often it doesn’t work to me well.

At the end of main movie, last Keyframe, to place a Goto URL, to activate another page or movie.

Mask are limited to a painted object within 3dfa. Keep in mind that the mask only masks the next item in line and basically is like cutting a hole. So after the masked object you put a photo and I think you'll get what youre looking for.

This kind of intro will require you to think hard about what you're trying to do and will require a little time to try out some things. Don't be afraid to experiment.
