If you want to create an intro sequence, you're going to have to do a bit of scripting.

What you need to do to start though is decide which room the intro will start in, and put that room number in your player character's "starting room" box (in the "Characters" section - duh). After that, you're going to have to go to that room, use the interaction editor, click on "first time player enters screen" (assuming you want to go back to that room in the course of the game), choose 'run script' as the action and then..... write the script for your intro.

That's a basic way of explaining it. There are other ways but that would be what you wanna do assuming you want a fairly standard sort of intro. There are plenty of scripting tutorials around the place (I'd suggest checking the sticky threads at the top of this forum) and a basic introduction to it in the help files of the program. Almost everything you need to know is in the help files actually, you just have to read through the function lists, learn what's available to you, and have a really good think about exactly what you want to happen in your intro.
