Hi to all,

I have developed a Flash Map, it's working fine.

Here is my Problem.

Map is having the Circular Locations whenever u rollover the mouse on Location , Location will be hightlited and u will get some information regarding the availability and u can see Check Availability Button.

Whenever i click on Check Availability its taking me to other page which is having the flash file.
But How can i highlite the Loation On which i have selected Previously.

Here is xml code:

Code: [ Select ]
_global.checkmap = 0;
_global.vid = new Array();
_global.vname = new Array();
_global.vdes = new Array();
_global.vlink = new Array();
_global.option = new Array();
_global.opt = new Array();
_global.title = new Array();

function loadXML(loaded) {
    _global.checkmap = 2;
    _global.total = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    
    if (_global.total<=19) {
        ccftot = _global.total;
    } else {
        ccftot = 19;
    }
    if (loaded) {
        for (i=1; i<=ccftot; i++) {
            //_global.total
            if (this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue != null) {
                curid = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
                _global.vname[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
                _global.vdes[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
                _global.vlink[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
                map1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
                _global.option[i-1] = eval("_root.main.location" add map1);
                _global.title[i-1] = _global.vname[i-1];
                _global.opt[i-1] = map1;
                _global.vid[i-1] = curid;
            }
        }
        _global.popuptitle = new Array();
        _global.popuptitle = _global.title;
        }
}

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("maps.xml");
  1. _global.checkmap = 0;
  2. _global.vid = new Array();
  3. _global.vname = new Array();
  4. _global.vdes = new Array();
  5. _global.vlink = new Array();
  6. _global.option = new Array();
  7. _global.opt = new Array();
  8. _global.title = new Array();
  10. function loadXML(loaded) {
  11.     _global.checkmap = 2;
  12.     _global.total = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
  13.     
  14.     if (_global.total<=19) {
  15.         ccftot = _global.total;
  16.     } else {
  17.         ccftot = 19;
  18.     }
  19.     if (loaded) {
  20.         for (i=1; i<=ccftot; i++) {
  21.             //_global.total
  22.             if (this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue != null) {
  23.                 curid = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
  24.                 _global.vname[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
  25.                 _global.vdes[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
  26.                 _global.vlink[i-1] = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
  27.                 map1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
  28.                 _global.option[i-1] = eval("_root.main.location" add map1);
  29.                 _global.title[i-1] = _global.vname[i-1];
  30.                 _global.opt[i-1] = map1;
  31.                 _global.vid[i-1] = curid;
  32.             }
  33.         }
  34.         _global.popuptitle = new Array();
  35.         _global.popuptitle = _global.title;
  36.         }
  37. }
  39. xmlData = new XML();
  40. xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
  41. xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
  42. xmlData.load("maps.xml");



Here is location highlighted code:

Code: [ Select ]
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    tstr = new String(this);
    q1 = tstr.indexOf("location");
    q3 = tstr.substr(q1+8, tstr.length);
    for (jj=0; jj<_global.opt.length; jj++) {
        if (_global.opt[jj] == q3) {
            break;
        }
    }
    
    // this highlight prevos one
    
        objOver_prev = eval("_root.main.location" add _global.prevval);
        objOver_prev.gotoAndPlay(11);

    // this higlioght ends
    
q2 = jj+1;
    _global.prevval=q2;
    
    val = _global.title[q2-1];
    for (ii=0; ii<_global.vname.length; ii++) {
        if (_global.vname[ii] == val) {
            break;
        }
    }
    
    if (ii == _global.vname.length) {
        _global.popname = "Venue Name";
        _global.popdesc = "No Content Available";
        _global.poplink = "";
        
    } else {
        _global.popname = _global.vname[ii];
        _global.popdesc = _global.vdes[ii];
        _global.poplink = _global.vlink[ii];
        
    }
    _root.main.popup.gotoAndPlay(2);
    }

on (rollOut) {
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    //objOver.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
on (release) {

Pass a variable to flash when the page loads...

You can do this with javascript or php etc.

Then in flash simply check for the correct location and show the highlite
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!

here's a tutorial...
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/passingvariables.htm

basically you need to tell your flash file the current page.
For example PageID=5 so Flash should show location number 5 highlighted.
