Without getting into the background (if it sounds crazy then believe me there is method to our madness), What we do is this : For every "image map" jpeg we display, there is a corresponding "map" image, where "clickable" elements are represented by a (individually) coloured area. When the user clicks on the jpeg image, the coordinates are passed to a getPixel() function on the "map", and the colour returned tells us what the action should be. With some bitmap filtering you can even handle highlighting of areas in the jpeg image (I wrote that functionality a year ago, and it still makes my head hurt to think about it, so perhaps I'll not attempt to describe it in detail here!) We do have hundreds of thousands of images, so their creation is scripted and information held in a database, but there's no reason you shouldn't make your own images and use a simple xml based lookup table.

I would like to use a very simple image-map (a simple interactive image, not gis!) in a flex gui to let user select things (e.g. select a way, select a building). Is it possible to do using flex? are there some samples available? Thanks!!!
