I need to find a map of the U.S. in Flash, that offers dynamic interaction. In that the color of each STATE on the map is determined by a javascript or coldfusion (preferably!) call (that I can modify etc). BONUS: if I can ALSO determine the URL of each STATE if clicked. If I can merely determine just the color, that is fine. The map's dimensions (being in Flash) should be scalable (i.e. I can ensure it fits to a very specific size/location on my web page). Any ideas? Off the shelf - I'd presume - is the only route but I've not been able to find such ... hence this question. Regards, Richard Buchanan |

Richard, It shouldn't be that hard a problem to solve. The flash movie would be relatively simple; a USA map with unique references for each state, so that you can colour them and assign a URL for a link. Passing the information in from ColdFusion can be done in a number of ways. Flash Remoting or passing in an XML packet are two ways that immediately to mind. You would have a database table of your states, the unique reference used in the flash for each state 'object', the colour and URL to be assigned to each state. A simple query of all the this information could be converted into an xml packet and passed into the flash movie when the page is first called. If you're looking at dynamically changing the colours given a set of parameters, then you might be looking more at Flash Remoting. This would be a bespoke product and not something you could easily get off the shelf, but it wouldn't be a major undertaking for someone with reasonable Flash skills that can handle either XML packets in Flash or Flash Remoting. Without know exactly what you are after I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Hope this helps Stephen |
