XML USA MAP V.2

HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashApplications and UtilitiesUtilitiesXML USA Map v.2

XML USA Map v.2 features:

- All colors can be changed in the XML file (e.g.initial color, rollover color, selected color, map background color, stage outline color etc..)

- This map has a gradient mask effect on each state which will be applied whatever colors you choose in the xml file.

- Each state has its own url which can easily be changed in the XML file.

- Each state has its own tooltip with picture and text loaded trough XML . Easily change all text in the XML file and easily change the pictures in the picture folder for each state, no need to get into Flash!

- The tooltip’s x coordinate to the mouse cursor varies depending on where you are on the map, so the tooltip doesn’t get cut off by the movie itself. This also allows easier navigation on the right where the states are much smaller.

Obviously, there could be dozens of functionalities for maps, so any suggestions for different ones are welcomed.

Update 1 (09/08/08): Each state can now be enabled/disabled through the XML file, just switch states “ON” or “OFF”. In addition, you can also change the color of disabled states in the XML file.

Enjoy!

As for the tooltip position, I understood your original design so that the tooltip box would always be on the stage. Your solution works well for those states that are close to the edge. The other states that are in the middle could use an offset. Again, how about have a flag in the XML file that would either use the XY coordinates as you currently have them or override to use another type of offset based on the flag.

For example, at the top of the XML file where you have:

provinceTextSelectedColor = “1C3753” wMethod = “_blank”

Add something like xTooltip = “X” where X is the a number, positive or negative, for the X offset. Add something like yTooltip = “Y” where Y is the a number, positive or negative, for the Y offset.

Then for each state, have an additional flag like “xyTooltip” where zero is the default and a one is to override using the defined xTooltip and yTooltip settings.

Thank-you for your consideration,

Jack

Thanks, for your input Jack. You have a fair point and I will work on that. If you could email me, I would send you the file when it is ready, and it will also help me not to forget about it ;-)

great tool!! thanks for putting it up! Quick question. This is going to sound weird but how do you add an additional state. Like a state of New Fork or something :)

Hi Maxburst,

Well you would have to draw it and convert it to a movieclip exactly the same way the other states are, then add it to the xml. Of course you would need at least some basic flash knowledge.

If you need further assistance, please email me through my profile…and don’t forget to rate the file! ;-)

Hey Lg Lab! The more I love it! How would you link to a frame within the map movie instead of linking to a url?

Posted 2 months ago

Hi Max,

You would need to label the frame and use gotoAndPlay(“frameLabel”;)

I just bought this today and was trying to make a slight change (remove the images on the mouse overs). Admittedly my flash skills leave much to be desired so I contacted the author and he was able to help me with what I needed in just a couple minutes.

Thanks for the great flash file! Matt

Hey LG…I bought this ages ago and never got to use it until now.

Want to use it for a map of Ireland. Pretty straightforward if I draw all the counties, make the movieclips, rename and add them to the XML ?

Posted about 1 month ago

Hey eirehotspur, yes if you follow the movieclip structure and naming protocole you can easily adapt it to a different map.

Hey, love this file, but need help on one thing…

I need to change the two letter abbreviation for Idaho from IO to ID – can this be done with the fla file? My flash skills are limited. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Just a quick note that this map is great, and the support I received on a minor change was much appreciated! I feel like I got so much more than I paid for on this one! Thank you for a great job!

I will be really appreciated to you for any kind info about my question. Thanks! Andrew.
