Dynamic/Interactive Guides/Tutorials inside applications

[Larvae]

Hi,

I would like to add dynamic/interactive guides/tutorials in my application explaining how to use it, where to find certain functions etc.

A simple example (for the beginning) would be arrows pointing to buttons with some text explaining the function a next button to move from instruction to instruction.

This would probably fit the StateMachine-Framework, using states as the steps of the tutorial with some simple transitions between them (like fade in/out). Depending on what I want to do in those states they could be defined independently in another file, the visual elements simply on top of the rest (high z-property)

Do you think this is a good approach or should I look into something else for this?
