Clickable Flash World Map
We are in the need of a clickable flash world map. The map must include 6 continents (no Antarctica) along with all their countries. Upon startup the map would show the entire world as divided into continents, with no country or continent borders shown. Continents would highlight only when the mouse cursor is moved over them. When a user clicks on a continent, the map would zoom into that particular continent and then country borders would show up. At this point moving the mouse over the map would highlight each country and show its name (an perhaps a flag) at the bottom of the map. When a particular country is clicked, a JavaScript function would be called with a country code (ISO 3166-1) as a parameter. There should be a small 'back' button that would allow a user to be able to return to the world view from the continent view. The flash document should have an aspect ratio of 2:1 and be clearly visible and readable at a resolution of 320x160. The flash map should be easily configurable with a script/text so that we could define country names, which countries can be clicked on, as well as the color scheme. Additionally, we'd like to be able to call the map with a country code, so that upon the startup, that country is highlighted. The map should be done using only vector images to keep the size to an absolute minimum.
