Best way to zooming map, using vector flash member. it gives best quality. When you're using an image, on zoomstate %300 (any) set the flash movieclip.alpha down. It hides to image pixel problem. emredk® - Original Message - From: sasa [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Using a flash member also has speed implications. If you have one large map with every little object on it, when it's zoomed out to see a lot of the map, there will be so many little objects visible that it will bog down the playback, possibly worse than an image would (you'd have to do some

Hi Alex, I have done something like this last year. I used maps of different size (10%, 25%, 50% and 100%) and allowed the user to zoom in. With this approach, like Diego says, you must harvest all marker positions and transform their coordinates and size when going from one map to another.
