Hi Guys,

Im wondering if someone can help me out with this.

I have a world map with two textboxes. The textboxes are used to pass x and y coordinates to the map. (eg x1-y1, x2-y3) and so on. Something like lattitude and logitudinal coordinates. Now when I pass these values the position should be displayed in the map. An icon can appear in the spot that I have specified in the coordinate fields. Also if this is possible can I have more than one image displayed. i.e. type in the coordinates for several locations. What would i require to do this.

Also when a user clicks on a particular image, its coordinates should appear in a popup screen (within flash) or maybe better if the coodinates just appear as a mouseover.

Any ideas on how to do this would be excellent and if someone can guide me how to go about achieving this would be great too.

Thanks,
