Okay, rather than try to explain this crazily, here's a visual example of something I've done:
http://www.nationaljournal.com/njonline/hc_20100322_8844.php The graphic loads an SVG file and parses it into Degrafa GeometryGroups (I basically followed their map example here: http://www.degrafa.org/source/DegrafaMapSample/DegrafaMapDemo.html, but made an empty "Geography" class so I could fill it with path and other data and get it out later). It pushes each GeomtryGroup into a Surface. The Surface listens for a click event, and finds out what GeometryGroup was clicked on using the event.target. The whole thing is wrapped in QuietlyScheming's Landscape component so it can zoom in on the clicked GeometryGroup. Trying to port this to Flex 4 / FXG has proven difficult. The only way I can get the SVG to display correctly is to turn my GeometryGroups into Paths (making them Graphics causes layout chaos) and shove them into a single Graphic instance. The problem is that the Paths don't dispatch any events (can't listen for a click, rollover, anything). And as far as I know, there's no way to figure out which Path was clicked on if you're listening to the Graphic instance. Am I missing something obvious? Does anyone have an idea how I should be thinking about porting this over? Am I doing it wrong entirely? I haven't spent too long on it, but it's proven to be frustrating (Would I be better off fiddling with the Degrafa source to get it to compile under Flex 4?) Any suggestions welcome. Charlie
