For performance reasons you can turn the detail quality down to "Low"
(client side), or Robin could publish it that way. It runs pretty
sluggishly on my system: F7 Player, 1.8Ghz, 1Gb RAM.
I'd also suggest you make the city name fields non-selectable :) Looks
cool though. Keep pushing the envelope!

See you at MXDU.

Cheers

Subject: [fugli] Flash GIS Prototype

Hi All,

Thought you may be interested in this prototype I've been working on for
an Australian Developer article and my MXDU presentation:

http://www.macromedia.com.au/robin/walkabout.zip


It's a highly detailed map of Australia using the Geoscience Australia
TOPO250 data set available at

http://www-a.ga.gov.au/download/

Click to centre any point on the screen, and shift-drag up and down to
zoom.

I'm in the process of deploying it on Central (it's a bit big for a
banner add :-) but it really shows off the performance improvements in
Flash Player 7 - for instance the data (21,321 shapes composed of
1,028,851 points) is all stored in actionscript arrays.  There's more to
do (e.g moving some of the data layer to the server and caching with
local shared objects) but it proves the viability of Flash as a GIS
platform.

I've included source files for the program but not the data (I'm not
sure that I'm allowed to distribute that) - although you do have the
compiled data swfs.  Comments and questions welcome (may give me some
ideas for the article).

Cheers,
