What I’m attempting to create is an interactive map which is tied to an XML fed combobox or listing of some sort with text fields that get fed XML info upon a selection.
So imagine, the map has an area with lots of little dots on it, each representing a company. At first it’s zoomed way out, centered, you see everything. The user selects a company name from either a combobox (preferably) or a list and when selected, the map zooms in and eases to the area close to it’s corresponding dot and a couple of dynamic text fields get populated with maybe the company name, address, web url and description.
Now, I’ve searched through the forums here and on other sites and have found little pieces of the puzzle but I’m hoping someone can fill me in on a good approach here. My biggest hangup is understanding how to make the map ease to the dot when the company is selected. How do I add an action within the xml to make the map react to the selection as described above? And what about having the company dot change color, etc as well?
I think I have a grip on comboboxes and populating text areas but the map movement is tricky. :cyclops:
Any help is greatly appreciated.
