Hi there,

I am creating an interactive map application that uses Flash MX 2004 Pro, PHP (to get the data) and MySQL (to store the data). I have managed to get the data streaming into my SWF perfectly but I now have to face the real challenge…

This is an interactive town map so I will, for example, be displaying the locations of a number of Hotels in my town. These Hotel details will be coming from MySQL (via PHP) in the form of an array that includes an x and y co-ordinate. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can create an instance of the (generic) Hotel symbol at the correct particular co-ordinate for each Hotel on the map?

For example:  
User clicks on “Hotels” in the Category Menu and all Hotel details are successfully received from PHP. Can all Hotels appear on the map located on their proper x and y co-ordinates?

Any help (even just some conceptual guidance) would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks a million.
