Hi there,

Long time since I've been playing around with flash, but now I've got to help a friend out with something.

Basically he have a lot of ships, that he need to plot on a map. The map is just a picture of europe, but the information for each ship is given in coordinates (longitude and latitude), and he want to know if there is a way to plot each ship (represented by a small red dot) on the picture map of europe using the coordinates already given.

Otherwise he would have to go into google earth and locate each position, and then add it, which would be pretty time consuming after a couple hundred ships.

If there are no easy way to do this, would there then be another way to convert the longitude/latitude coordinates into a x/y coordinate system for the picture of the map? (if we know what area the picture covers on the map)

Thanks in advance,
