Mike...
I think you can get the same effect of what you are doing without having to
do a look-up each time by using the getPropertyDescriptionList and entering
the name and capital of each state on each sprite. I haven't included the
highlighting code with the stuff below. It only has an 'easier' way to
display your rollover text. Watch for line breaks in the email. Hope this
helps. Have fun. :)
