Hello Alex, yes I have done something exactly like this:
http://www.emotioneelstadsplan.nl Use many small jpegs for your map. For each magnification you will need 4 times as many images: 1,4,16,64,256,1024,4096,16384,65536. If you want to zoom that far do not use the build in map function, it does not work correctly beyond something like 65000 pixels. When you have that many images it is not practical to import them all. Have a pool of members that you link dynamically to the images you need. You can use one flash sprite to display all the objects you need. Make movieclips wich you position with actionscript using variables suplied by Director. Each icon you see on the map consists out off three movieclips: shadow, color and icon. There are some articles on DOUG on how to do this. To zoom in on the flash layer do not change its rect. Change the viewscale. To pan you change the viewH and viewV of the flash sprite. succes, Alfred [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
