Not too long ago, the Tokyo Metro had a great interactive map of the
metro system available on its web site. The map used Macromedia Flash
technology, and used to be at the following URL:

http://www.tokyometro.go.jp/network/map_english.html

That URL is no longer in service. I am looking for that particular
map, either at a different URL on the Tokyo Metro site, or from
another source, such as on a CD-ROM. 

The main Tokyo Metro page (in Japanese) is currently here:

http://www.tokyometro.jp/index.htm

The main English entry page is currently here:

http://www.tokyometro.jp/e/index.html

Please note that I need the particular Flash map (or an updated
version of that map) that was previously available on the Tokyo Metro
site at the URL above. The site currently has PDF versions of the map,
which are of no use to me. Nor do I have any use for any other maps of
the Tokyo Metro from other sources.

Information about the firm that developed the Flash map for the Tokyo
Metro would also be helpful.

This map received some attention in the Flash community, and may be
fairly well-known, perhaps in the Asian web/Flash development or
marketing communities.

Thanks.

I'm not an authorized Google Answers person, but I think I can help
you finding Tokyo Metro Flash Map

Step 1:
Use Internet Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) and enter URL
that is dead for a while

Step 2:
View Source of webpage wayback machine has found for you and find the
file name of your swf, here it is:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030603222428/http://www.tokyometro.go.jp/network/map_english.swf

Step 3:
Webarchive has a bug with downloading swfs so we stop downloading
before it returns error -- on 99%.

Step 4:
Have fun:

But I think ELRO Corporation (www.elro.com) can do more compelling
interactive experience
for you.
