Interactive Flash Map (Touring DJ)

dudeman · 11-26-2009, 04:19 PM

Hey there, wondering if anyone has seen anything like the attached picture available on the net (pay or free). The map system has inputted tour dates and info so following fans can keep track of the DJ's location and gigs...

There are a number of different ways you could go about it:

1. Use an external file, e.g. XML, to indicate the _x and _y positions of the latest tour date city on the map. You can then code the pop-up window to appear at that point and populate it with the latest information from the external file.
2. You can include all of the information and pop-up windows in the FLA, and then use the Date() object to enable/disable them. Much the same way as an advent calendar works.
