[RESOLVED] Interactive map

Is there anyone who can help me make an interactive map exactly like this one:

Thanks!

What about something like this:

http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/flash/V2/asGS.03.html


All the info you need:

http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/flas...ngStarted.html

I tried it, but can't get the thing to work for me. estudioworks - have you used the yahoo maps at all? I downloaded and installed the yahoo maps MXP file but can't figure out what to do after that. What is the "yahoomap.swc" file and how do you open that? I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm still very new to flash.

I 'll send you a .fla, what is the address you want to use ?

I actually wanted a map of the entire Twin Cities metro, but you can just put St. Paul, MN to start out.

I'm reading the Yahoo site more and figured out how to get it to work by itself in flash, but not with my movie. Can you just drag the component into your movie and it'll work, or am I missing something?

Sort of, you drag the component on the stage and you have to edit 2 areas, the parameters panel and an actionscript layer:

Here is a .fla from yahoo ( change the info in the parameters panel and the as layer and you should be ok.

You also need to sign up for a yahoo application id to be able to run them:

this is done completely in flash

ozmic66 - I have seen this before, and unfortunately it is not what I'm looking for.

estudioworks - I have a yahoo application ID and I can get the program to work alone, but I can't figure out how to get it to work in my movie. It just seems to be a blank page with no map on it. Any thoughts?

Here is the error I get when trying to insert the map in my movie:

**Error** Symbol=CITIES PAGE, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 1: Syntax error.
import com.yahoo.maps.tools.PanTool;

**Error** Symbol=CITIES PAGE, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 2: Syntax error.
import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget;

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

any ideas guys?

You probably need to copy all frames in the yahoo movie and paste them in a mc in your new movie

That is awesome !!

I did this and still nothing. I gonna start pulling my hair out over here. :yikes: What is the YahooMap.swc file and do I need to do anything with that? I've download the source from yahoo of the different examples and they all work fine. When I try to emulate that in my movie, I create 2 layers (map & actions). I put the map file on the map layer and copy the actions on the action layer, but they I come up with that error. I knew there was a reason I didn't like Yahoo!

Can you post your .fla ?

Here it is:

Flash MX 2004 file:

Flash MX file:

This is my movie without the maps. Please excuse the mess - it was a template that I purchased and haven't had time to get everything sorted out yet. The page I would like to put the map on is the "cities page".

Having trouble getting to the cities area

When you open up the library, it is listed as "CITIES PAGE". All that is there currently is text that says under construction. On the original template, it was called the solutions page. Like I said, it's pretty messy right now....

Still working on it, I can't get the map to show

Well now I don't feel so bad. :smoov:

Hey sorry I fell asleep, gonna start looking at it again :)
