Hello all,

I can’t get it to work via Actionscript.
I’d like to set the areas at runtime with values that come from a webservice. It gives a runtime error that my Array cant’t be casted into an flexlib.controls.area
Can somebody give me an example?

Dear Doug,
I’m honour to find your project .It helps me a lot.But there are two questions puzzling me!
Q1:

I was wondering if it possible to change the color of each individual map polygon.
Like for example in the current example of USA , when the mouse hovers over some state it will change the color of the state ?

Q2:

how do I programmatically extract the area where I clicked? I’m tring to basically say:

public function setSomeProperty(event:Event):void {
someProperty = /* how do I know the area at this point ??? */
}

…

yours,
Coolala

Hi Doug,

It think that your component is great. (I also bought your book, which helped me a lot).

Any suggestions on how to draw the polys and get the coordinates? At the moment, I just eyeball it, guess the coordinates, and refine it until it looks okay. There has to be a more efficient way. Any suggestions? Is there some way of doing it in photoshop?

Again, thank you so much for your fine component.

Thank you so much.

You never cease to amaze me, where do you find the time!

I am kind of new to Flex (love it but still getting a grip on the ActionScript side) could you possibly post the code nessary to use the ImageMap component with a ViewStack rather than the navigateToURL command?

Please and Thank You!
