wow it looks great! and the maps that do work come up very smoothly! only critique i have is that the text on the side of the maps is verryyy small


great job though!!

If you like to work in Flash only, I would recommend:

http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/load...nal_images.asp

So you can minimize load time. As it is, most map users would likely not view all available maps in one sitting, so if you can break it down to loading just the main map at run time and calling individual images (maps) in response to the onclick events I think it would be much quicker.

By the way, I think I was a bit brief in my first post, but nice job! Looks very well polished.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I may use XML files to store images internally that way they're all pre-downloaded however not rendered until used. I just have to write the map/information object first.

If I knew anything about AJAX, I just might do that.

My original idea for this project is to make an easy-to-use one-paged mapping system. Considering I only know flash and the scripting behind it, this is the limit to my ability which is unfortunate which is why I'd like to request help from anyone with the time to invest in this.

I can complete the project using only flash and actionscript however I know there are better ways to do this. What I want is a swiveling menu of continents. Let's say you select Antonica, it will zoom into the the land thus showing the zone connections. When you select your zone (depending on how many maps are in that one zone), a horizontal map selection will appear ascending from top to bottom levels. You will select your floor and then hover over the points on the map getting details about each point (which will be pulled from an xml datasheet). There will also be a print button and a info button which will give you a soft-popup giving the information in bold legible text.
