  a co-worker created this. I need to create something like this for a client. There is a back end asp page where client can shange data and points. I will have to do both (small real estate area map). Does anyone know where I can learn how to do this? Any advice? Much appreciated.

  If that is all it needs to do, you could easily do it with a little DHTML. Just as an option if you don't know Flash well enough.

  Basic button rollovers and basic XML. As far as the external editability, you just need some type of way to edit the XML file (CMS or just tell client how to modify the xml file).

  If they don't need the ability to change the data points it would be easy using buttons and hover states.

  • i do need to change data points actually– redant

  tell target is outmoded, don't learn that. it was chucked after Flash 5 so you'll be learning a worthless factoid (although it was a lot easier than some new methods i thunk).

  the map you have shown is simply using Tooltips which as you've said, use a backend to update. if that's all there is, you could use a few of the following as a start:

  to interactively add the button region is beyond what i know but if you don't need a backend and will be updating the file yourself through flash it'll be easy enough to add a new btn instance and update the tooltips.
