First thank you for example. Very nice!

I need to change color border, but you use:
var cTrans : ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
cTrans.color = 0×009933;
f.transform.colorTransform = cTrans;

This case chage all shape color, but i need to change only border(or lineStyle). Who do i do?

Thank you!

Thanx for your effort on reading shapefiles into Flash. Im trying to work out a way to simplify shapes. Found some stuff:
Gregor Aisch >> http://vis4.net/blog/en/posts/simplification-of-country-outlines
and
MapShaper >> http://mapshaper.org/

I get a bitt lost when I try to combine your code with Gregor’s code. Do you have any experience simplifying shapes?

Hope to hear from you. Thanx.

I do have at my disposal a lot of code for working with shapefiles and attributes, with interactivity and all, but I’m not entirely at liberty to disseminate it as it’s part of work done for clients and so forth. It’s also so wrapped up in a complicated system that it’s no simple matter to release useful bits of code. But hopefully things will evolve to a point where it’s possible to post some classes that can easily be used outside of my company’s particular projects.

I also changed the way the map draws to add a parent and glow filter for each feature, so that I can control the border, when changing the color.

I would like the ability to tell when I’ve either rolled over or clicked on a region of the map.

It would be nice if I could define an attribute of a feature that was returned on either event. Basically I would tell it to return State_name, and when I clicked on an area it might return “Iowa.”

I will continue playing. I have a component that I can send the name of the shape & dbf file, and it creates a canvas with the map sized on it. I also implemented a generic colorchanger for a given feature, and a method that will return all of the features for a given attribute.

Interactivity is my next goal.

Being lazy, I thought I’d ask to see if you have already done this?

Is there a way to add a roll over event listener to each state?

When I do click it works fine by state, but roll over includes the entire map.

Works
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickedMe);

Doesn’t work
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rOver);

And access each one’s properties in a loop. Is this through map (ShpMap class) or f (ShpFeature class)?

protected var scaleFactor : Number = 500;

Instead of 500 try something much lower, perhaps simply 1. That has usually been the solution for me. Otherwise I’m not certain what the problem might be.
