on frame one have a frame script that is nothing more than

on exitframe
go to the frame
end

Set the QT movie to paused at start, create a play button that tells the QT movie to play. Now comes the fun part, on teh quicktime movie have a script something like
on exitframe
if sprite(1).movietime = member(qtmember).movietime then
go to the frame + 1
end if
end

on frame 2 you will have your next menu that basically repeats the same kind of thing. I would go into more detail but I have a project I need to research, develop and test in under 3 days.

No, its not hard to someone who knows Director, but if your just starting out it probably is. Draw a diagram, working out how your code needs to flow is 80% of the job. you can always look up how to write the code if you know what you need to do.
