I purchased the map, but found out that Florida and Minnesota are disabled. Is there a fix for this. Thanks.

Hi,

Yes those 2 states are disabled to demonstrate that each state can be disabled independently, of course they can all be enabled, just set the “stateMode” parameter to “ON” in the xml file. It is explained in the help file.

Thanks.

Hi,

trying to embed a version of this map but it just shows up with no functionality and a black background.

any idea what can be causing this?

Hi,

This happens if the map cannot find the xml file, make sure the xml file is located where it should be, as in keep the original file’s structure.

Thanks.

Thanks, I think the issue is that the CMS I am using is renaming the XML file when I upload it to lower case. so the file is usamapsettings.xml instead of usaMapSettings.xml.

Do you know would this cause the issue, and can I change that in the FLA file.

It’s renaming to lower case for the .swf files too.

Actually, i figured out what part of the action script to rename to get the XML to work. Is there any way that you can disable the image in the tooltip?

Hi,

Cool. For the tooltip, double-click the “tooltip” movieclip in the library in flash. Each element is on its own layer and you can re-arrange it the way you want. You can delete the image stuff and reposition the textfields etc…

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve been looking for a cool map of the continental U.S. and I just wanted to know if I could exclude Alaska and Hawaii from being shown on the map? Could the Flash file be modified to exclude them? Thanks.

This is so awesome! I was wondering how to reduce or eliminate the drop shadow.

Hi,

In flash, select the main “map” movieclip, then in the properties panel you will see a “filters” tab, you can adjust or delete the shadow filter.

Oh one other thing, is there a way to prevent the state link from opening a new window?

In the xml file at the top in the “mainSettings”, there is a parameter to set the window target for clicks.

Hi,

One more question. I’m using this map to display a list of states that have workshops. This is constantly being updated.

When I update the XML file I have to refresh the cache in my browser. Most people won’t know to do this. Is there a way to force the XML file refresh?

Thanks.

Hi,

Well first time visitors won’t have this problem, and for returning viewers the cache should clear once in while anyway.

But you could use a technique to force the browser to reload the xml file each time, by adding a random parameter to the end of the xml path string in Flash, have a look here:

Hi, Great File! I would like to use this in a wordpress theme. Is it possible? and do you have documentation on how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

I don’t have documentation on how to embed this into wordpress but you should be able to embed it as with any xml based flash file. If I’m correct the main particularity of CMS like WP or Joomla with xml based flash files is that you need to put the xml file in the root directory of your WP theme, no matter where the SWF file is.

Thanks.

Is there a way to reference the xml file? I am using wordpress and using permalinks with the post name instead of the default, which makes each page end with a ”/” (back slash), thus creating a directory that screws up the code referencing the xml file. for example: longtermcareinsure.com/long-term-care-costs-by-state/

Additionally the code on the index.html file included with the files has “

If no one can figure out how to use it with wordpress a work around is use this widjet – “Insere Iframe”. And reference a html on your website.

Hi,

Looks like you manage to get it working. Usually xml paths issues in WP are fixed by putting the xml file in the root directory of your WP, no matter where the swf file is.

Good Afternoon -

Could you tell me if it’s possible to group states together? Say I wanted the New England states to highlight together and have one entry that came up. Is it something I could code in the XML perhaps?

Thanks!

Hi, First of all, this map is great, thank you. I was wondering if it was possible to load in other information to show in the tool-tip when each state is rolled over. For example, I would like to add stats from a db instead of showing a pic and general text. Should i just write that info to the xml file in the node where the general text content for each state goes? Or what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes just write a PHP script to read your db and overwrite the existing xml text node.

Hi, first of all, the map is just great! I’ve been looking for a map lik this for 2 days straight and i’m so glad i found it. The other maps that i found were all flash ones and difficult to configure for a coding noob like me, this one however works like a charm…

I just have one question: Is it possible to resize the map myself? It doesn’t fit the page width of my wordpress theme…

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes the map can be resized in flash, resize the stage and the map movieclip accordingly and republish the swf file, send me an email via my profile page if you are having trouble.
