Democratic Elections: Lab 4

Lab 4
In this lab we created a "faux-GIS" interface that allows a user to layer different versions of a map and information on top of one another. This lab was particulary difficult, although the importance of accuracy when naming layers/symbols is continually stressed. The most challenging part is getting the action script written correctly. I wish that I had been able to insert text boxes or roll over boxes for each year that would contain general election information (canidates and winner). I struggled with this for a while, but with limited knowledge of action script I couldn't incoorperate this without applying the 20% alpha to the text box/information graphic while allowing the check box to turn this information on and off with the map.
