Now I could do with some hints as to how this should be done 
Hopefully someone will help me out here.
Ok, basically I have a map (a jpg/gif file), which should be divided into squares (like a chessboard). Each square has a coordinate (X, Y) and other pictures should be shown on top of a map square - like a small house or something (also a jpg/gif file).
It should also be possible to hide some (most) of the squares from view - like with a black square on top or whatever. Perhaps Flash should also make some lines between each square to divide them.
Furthermore only a part of the map should be shown through a window (using a mask, I guess) as the map could be large and buttons at the edge could be used to scroll the map.
All of the jpg/gif files should be loaded dynamically into Flash, so it’s possible to change them (or rather the path to them). All the information about which squares can be seen (not hidden) and which squares have houses, etc. is saved in an Access database (using ASP to get it).
I could use some help to how to:
- make Flash display the map through a window (along with the other stuff I described)
- get the information from the database to Flash
- make Flash show the things according to the data
Any ideas that could get me started?
