To try to do the whole 'lighting a candle' thing... indications can be built in to make it blatantly obvious to click/mouseover the points on the map to see the portfolio pieces, or even having a secondary navigation so the user can simply Do What They Came Here to Do - or even making the map more central but deemphasized/desaturated, especially when someone wants to do something. The map idea isn't useless, it just gets in the way.
Flash has problems with presentation, if someone wants to print out the portfolio they have a chore ahead of them, accessibiity issues and deep-linking (i.e. "Hey look at this piece where...oh, ok, go to the map and click on that middle part...no, not that middle part!") That said, the Forking Path rocks!
