on Mouse Over map

[windandwaves]

Hi Gurus

We have just put together a map with a MouseOver effect...

It can be found at http://friars.co.nz/newnzmap/m.html

This come straight out of something like photoshop.

In general, this may be quite an expected (although of course NOT recommended) way to do this. However, because of the size, it has
just become far too big.

Is there a way to do this more efficient? I am just looking for some ideas at this stage.

Cheers

Ouch! Use Flash, and provide as a fallback a plain HTML list, with the
names of the regions as simple text links.

Could you still call Javascript from Flash ? I want tickboxes to be ticked if people click on the regions (for a search function).

Also, how hard would it be to use Flash (I do not have a lot of experience with this tool).

Thanks for your reply Toby.

Yes you can. In actionscript;

getUrl("javascript:dosomething()");

You can add this to any button or symbol (inside an "on" event, of course)
