Trails

[TheRAt]

I am creating a CD project with Director and this requires a "trail" (ie. like a web trail on a site that tells me where I am - eg. Home -> Project 1 -> Item 1) which I can use to demontrate the currect location and a quick way to go back a level.

Any help in the direction I should take to look at this would be appreciated greatly...

Thanks

Easist method is using a list to track progress. When the user goes to the next movie/marker or whatever add it to the list, when they click the back button send them to the last item in the list and remove that item - highly recommend you learn everything about lists and property lists that you can, they are very fast and excelent ways to organise data.


eg
on mouseup
global gUserProgress
-- for the next button
add(gUserProgress, the moviename)
end

on mouseup
-- for the prev button
global gUserProgress
set vGoTo = getlast(gUserProgress)
deletelast(gUserProgress)
go to movie vGoTo
end
