Abstract
Abstract A system and method of presenting whole and/or segmented presentation files, such as graphics, multimedia and/or video files in any combination, within a combination of table or array formats to create a complete scene from within which such presentation files may be placed, played, downloaded, streamed or viewed, including multi-layer file embedding in JAVA which produces a complete scene within which presentation files may be placed, played, streamed or viewed, in a portable virtual one-page design with viewing capability over the World Wide Web via a Web browser or other graphical user interface, over the Internet via a Web browser or other graphical user interface, or from within word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet, database or other presentation applications.

Independent Claim
227 words
A system for integrating a presentation file into a computer environment comprising the steps of: designing a background; determining the dimensions and placement of the presentation file in the background; creating a template to the dimensions of the presentation file; copying and pasting the presentation file template into a layer above the background and in the desired position of the presentation file; delineating the borders of the template with guides; cutting out of the background a section of the background corresponding to the superimposed template's size and dimensions; pasting the section into a new layer above the template; deleting the template; copying and saving the section to its own file; saving the background and the section to a scene-file, the background being on a bottom layer and the section on a layer above the background and superimposed over the desired location of the presentation file in the background; segmenting the background; saving each segment, including the empty segment corresponding to the section that was cut out, as a separate file; creating a table and subtable of such files as necessary; setting each table's and subtable's attributes to the exact dimensions of its respective segment file, the presentation file's dimensions being the same as that of the cut out section; and embedding each segment file and the presentation file in its designated table or subtable with pixel-accurate alignment.
