Working with Flash

The main problem that we face in terms of the flash side of the project is that it is going to be extremely complicated to link them all to each other in way which allows for a different outcome to take place if a certain route is followed around the room. For example, if the user goes to pad 1 before pad 2 we want this to change what happens at pad two. The best solution that we can think of to solve this complication is to give each pad its on variable, and also that each pad will alter all of the pads, well the ones that it needs to, for example if pad 1 adds 5 to a variable and pad 2 adds 3 to a variable, if the user goes to pad1 and 2 before going to 3, 3 variable will already be at 8, whereas if the user just goes straight to pad 3 its variable will be at 0. As a result the output will be different to the previous route to the path. It will trigger different sound once the variable is over 5, this will be regardless of how many it is over 5. Through this web of code we can control who the user progresses through the piece and the information that they receive along the way.
