XML Map / Store / Dealer Locator – Canada (Maps & Globes)

XML Map / Store / Dealer Locator – Canada

This is an XML map created in AS3 . It is to locate stores, dealers, people by state. It supports an unlimited amount of items per state, or even unlimited states.

The file includes:

• Unlimited entries
• Dynamic scroll bar (with mouse wheel)
• Inactive states (meaning no locations)
• Tooltips
• Easily changeable properties
• Company / Name
• Address One and Two
• City
• Zip code
• State
• Phone Number
• Web link

Interested in how to implement this file into your? Piece of cake!

• Step 1: Copy everything in the library and paste it into yours. Drag a copy of the MAIN _MAP_MC to the stage.
• Step 2: Be sure to copy the ‘com’ folder to your project folder so the map can find the necessary classes.
• Step 3 (optional): If for some reason you need to create another instance of the map, simply type the content below:

  import com.ronnieswietek.map.CanadaStoreLocator;
  var storeLocator = new CanadaStoreLocator();
  addChild(storeLocator);
  

• Step 4 (optional): These are the default properties, but you can even set your own properties directly in the actionscript panel like below:

  storeLocator.xmlPath = "stores.xml";
  storeLocator.windowOpenType = "_blank";
  storeLocator.storeSpacing = 105;
  storeLocator.inactiveColor = 0x43493b;
  storeLocator.mapColor = 0x707864; (requires you to change tint on the state MC itself as well)
  storeLocator.rollOverColor = 0x869f61;
  storeLocator.rollOverDuration = 0;
  storeLocator.rollOverDelay = 0;
  storeLocator.rollOutColor = storeLocator.mapColor;
  storeLocator.rollOutDuration = 0.5;
  storeLocator.rollOutDelay = 0.3;
  

Adding a new “state”

To add a new “state”, simply copy a whole node like so:

  <state movieclipname="alberta" displayname="Alberta">
    <location city="city1" address1="123 Valley Parkway" company="company 1" linkdisplay="www.flashden.net" zip="92027" address2="" website="http://activeden.net/user/rondog" phone="800-888-8888" />
  </state>

paste it at the bottom. Change the movieClipName to the name of another “state” on your map. Lets say we do
Guam:

  <state movieclipname="guam" displayname="Guam">
    <location city="city1" address1="123 Valley Parkway" company="company 1" linkdisplay="www.flashden.net" zip="92027" address2="" website="http://activeden.net/user/rondog" phone="800-888-8888" />
  </state>

I have created a new node for guam. Now I need to go into my FLA , into MAIN _MAP_MC and add a movie clip called guam. Thats it!
