USA Map - Widescreen

Finally, a well done AS2 map on FD! Nice work!

Hey Nice Work, i Ready Buy it, But i have a proble when i buy it it chek 3 times purchase can you refound me the other 2 Tanks

@gelas6969 – You’ll have to contact FlashDen support.

Can this map be tied into a database on Joomla? Say for instance, I have a forum board in Joomla and one of the categories on the forum is States … If I want the users to see this map on a page before they see the forum and let’s say that they’re interested in the category that are posted only with the state “OH” and they click on “OH” in your map, it will only show threads in the Ohio column on my board?

@AdamNCincy – I worked on another project where the client wanted to do a similar thing to a map, we found the best way was to get the php to export elements of the database to XML for the Flash to read. I’m guessing you could write a plug in for Joomla.

Can this map have multiple cities? Such as The capital of New York is Albany, but I need to show Albany and Manhattan. So more then one point in each state…

can i change the color of individual states? If so how?

@pigeon307 – No sorry, you can edit the colors of individual states manually, only the colors mentioned in the description can be edited dynamically.

It would have been really nice if you made this drag n drop like the other maps on FD.

The map is not very flexible. I don’t need any xml, I want to just have the map do the same thing no matter where you click, and keep the animation.

I would have liked it if the map itself was a little more clean. When I try to convert lines to fills, the map destroys itself, and optimization techinques don’t help. I ended up taking this file into illustrator to get a version that didn’t break when broke apart. Now Im basically rebuilding the entire thing myself.

Changin the colors never worked, but I nested the map 3 levels deep so could have something to do with all the _root you use…

But for the good side of things, you code comments where great!

@arctic_ark – Sorry you weren’t able to find this map useful, this version works as a stand alone map, with XML , as stated and demoed in the preview.

The map is useful , but look into making it fullscreen & especially drag n drop. I know its possible I did a version like this in 3d, was thinkin about uploading it, but it has no xml or useful function, just a 3d map.

I love this map. However what would be the best code to have it open in a popup box accurately sized from another SWF ?

Because I can’t seem to get this map to integrate into my current SWF file so I’ll settle for having it as a popout.

@vumpler – I use lightwindow to open images/flash over the top of other content.

When you rollover the state, how do I add another line of text under the state name?

How would I make the main background color be transparent so that the website background would show through? It’s a textured background.

I see that it has: // Map Color mainBackgroundColor=0×979797;

what would it be to make it have 0% transparency?

You can delete the background from the FLA , it’s located on the layer labeled “Background”

within the XML how would I make the content be in a two column table or maybe in two divs that are styled with inline styles.

Is the XML content wrapped in CDATA ?

Hi, I was wondering if there was an option so that:

1. When clicked, instead of opening the text-area, it will go to specified URL . (I would like to have different URL for every state)

2. Also, is it possible to change the width of this map?

P.S. I have posted similar question for your other map too.

Thank you.

I need to be able to specify the URL to the state XML file as one of the params or as a URL param. Can I do it with this map?

Is it possible to scale the entire thing down a bit without editing in FLA ? (ie: with the XML somehow)?
