snip Using a flash member also has speed implications.

lingo-l Any idea?
Hi there I made a similar app which was basically a searchable street map of the entire UK city of Cardiff. I initially started off using imaging Lingo to copy the relevant section of the entire map however this was far too slow when scrolling especially as the client required it to scroll at 10 different zoom levels. I found that using a flash sprite was an ideal solution as it had the ability to zoom built in and the performance of scrolling and zooming at the same time was very good. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about this approach.

Best way to zooming map, using vector flash member. it gives best quality. When you're using an image, on zoomstate %300 (any) set the flash movieclip.alpha down.

Using a flash member also has speed implications. If you have one large map with every little object on it, when it's zoomed out to see a lot of the map, there will be so many little objects visible that it will bog down the playback, possibly worse than an image would (you'd have to do some tests to see which is worse). I would probably go a different route altogether and use a copyPixels solution. Have one large map that is the whole map at as large a resolution as you would ever need, and then have another bitmap that is just for display. Then you can use copyPixels to copy different parts of the large map into the display bitmap for display. To zoom out, simply copy a larger rect of the source bitmap into the smaller one of the display bitmap and it will be resized to fit (antialiasing and all!).

Re: lingo-l Any idea
Hi Alex, I have done something like this last year. I used maps of different size (10%, 25%, 50% and 100%) and allowed the user to zoom in. With this approach, like Diego says, you must harvest all marker positions and transform their coordinates and size when going from one map to another. Just make sure all marker positions are made relative to the map as a reference, of course, and not the stage. Overall this means a few tricks to implement, but it works quite well.
