FlashEffects! New!

FlashEffects is set of additional graphics and ActionScript functions you can easily adjust for your needs that make this map template load and serve more consistent and accurate.

• preloder: Visualize loading process for slow connection users
• randomization: random visualization of states, one by one, once the movie is loaded
• fade-in: dynamic fade-in effect for a set of layers after the states show up.
• Attach_sound: Assign sound effects for mouse over and press effects to states and cities.

Dynamic States and Cities Lists

It is natural, that besides geographic location and image, people recognize instances by name. It may be faster to search objects by name, sorted in alphabetical order, rather than locating objects on map; especially finding a small state or distinguishing between several neighboring locations.

Interactive US Map with dynamic State and City List is now even more interactive! Objects on map and their titles in the lists are interconnected. Thus you can see where the state or county is by picking up title in the list.

State URL

It is possible to set a custom link for each state or leave it undefined and follow the same scheme based on the state name.

var stateURL=new Array()
stateURL[' Utah ']='http://utah.com'
stateURL[' Texas ']='http://texas.com'

function stateOnPress(state) {
if (stateURL[state]!=undefined)
{
           getURL(stateURL[state],'_blank') }    // THIS STATE URL
else {
           getURL('http://www.google.com/search?q='+state,'_blank') } //DEFAULT EVENT
}

City URL

For more convenience, there is already a way to specify city URL simply, in a minute:

• Set up a custom URL for each city:
  var cityURL=new Array()
  cityURL[' Denver ']='http://denver.com'
  cityURL[' Phoenix ']='http://phoenix.com'
  
• Set up a general rule for the rest of cities, based on the city name:
  function cityOnPress(cityName) {
  if (cityURL[cityName]!=undefined)
  {     // THIS CITY'S URL
        getURL(cityURL[cityName],'_blank')
  }
  else
  {     //DEFAULT EVENT
