Hey there is there a way that once the user clicks on the state it stays highlited as active.

I’m looking at updating the STATE images as images of SALES REP that cover that area. Is that something that is easy to perform?

Thanks.

@estebanangulo – Not currently on this map, but I am working on a version that has this feature.

@jkherman – Yes, the flags in the XML are purely there for example.

Hi, I purchased your map and am very pleased with it so far. I am completely new to flash. I’m a web developer and have just bought flash in order to edit this file. I’ve figured out how to make the changes to the state colors, but I’ve not figured out a few things and was hoping you could help. I’ve numbered my questions below:

1.) I don’t need Guam, VI, or Puerto Rico. How do I remove those from this map? I see how to hide their labels, but I don’t see how to hide their actual borders.

2.) I need to make Alaska smaller and then move it and Hawaii slightly. How do I do that?

3.) This is more of just a comment. I think I can fix this. It looks like Maine’s state abbreviation doesn’t use the color set in Action Script. It stays black.

I’d greatly appreciate any help you could provide on questions 1 and 2 above.

Ok, I need the answer to number 3 as well above as I can’t figure it out.

Thanks!

@mmcquade – To delete Guam etc. delete the folder and go into the MC’s on the layers labeled “map background” and “outlines” and remove the relevant.

Same with AK and HI, but resize them.

The MA is working for me, in the fla it’s white but export it goes black, let me know your having any more problems.
