Hey, I’ve been searching around for a tutorial or some ideas about how to make a map of the USA like this: [http://www.flashden.net/files/25470/index.html](http://www.flashden.net/files/25470/index.html)

I’ll pull the data from XML, because I’ll want the state name to show up, and a few other bits of information in dynamic text boxes. So, I’d make a movie clip but I want it to resize itself depending on the length of the information, and I’d want the movie clip to have it’s own x and y coordinates depending on the state location, of course.

I would have to make 50 movieclips to rollover right? And what kind of code would I need to have the xml pull up when hovering over the state?

Thanks for any leads! 😏

Actually now that I’ve looked at it longer, the menu follows the cursors, which changes the data once it “crosses state lines” mahah \>.\>; renegade!

yeah…
