The Trip Tracker/How To
Using the Trip Tracker...
- all you have to do to get started is enter your name on the left-hand nav bar
- then you can enter the steps traveled today and your stats will be displayed
- you can navigate the route by clicking the "+" to zoom in and then the up and
down arrows to traverse the route
- the orange "info" circles, when clicked, bring up an information box on that given
tourist stop
- your data is automatically saved when you close the trip tracker. If you ever want
to delete your info, just click the "delete" button at the bottom of the nav bar

Source Files
*note* - if you plan on using or modifying these files, please e-mail me. I don't mind,
I just would like to know how you're using it!

Below are some files available for download which show my code for my final project.
Trip1.fla is source file for my flash program. This can only be opened in the Flash
environment. Once opened, you can run it by going to "Control - Test Movie."
- trip1.fla

You can also download some .txt files which contain some of the ActionScript from my
.fla file. These .txt files also describe what frame you can find the ActionScript in my
main program file. The following are from the main timeline of my program:
- mainframe1.txt
- mainframe49.txt
- mainframe50.txt
- mainframe51.txt
- mainframe52.txt

The following .txt files contain the ActionScript from the movie clips in my .fla file:
- deletebox.txt
- endbox.txt
- infoboxchicago.txt (template for all other infoboxes)

A zip file containing the source file, and all the ActionScript .txt files:
