| Hi, I like the look of PowerMaps and have an application where they'd be very useful, I think. The application, however, would be in Flex V2.0.1 - I wonder if someone could tell me if PowerMaps would be embeddable into this version of Flex ? I *think* it would require PowerMaps to be built for the V8/V9 Flashplayer ? Also, would I be able to set regional colours via Flex, on ther PowerMap dynamically ? Additionally, does PowerMap provide any kind of callback/event when a user clicks on a map region - so that I could detect this in the Flex code and act accordingly ? Thanks for your help, Jamie.

| In addition, can the background image for the maps be changed dynamically ? If this cannot be embedded easily in to Flex, could it be embedded in to a Flash 'wrapper' application which could control the look/feel of the map - and which in turn could be embedded in to the Flex ? Regards, Jamie.

| Hi, I'm afraid you cannot use PowerMaps with Flex directly, even though PowerMaps is made in Flash 8 itself. >> Also, would I be able to set regional colours via Flex, on ther PowerMap dynamically ?
You can set regional colors using the XML API of PowerMaps. >> Additionally, does PowerMap provide any kind of callback/event when a user clicks on a map region - so that I could detect this in the Flex code and act accordingly ?
We do provide callback handlers - but I'm not sure how this can be integrated with Flex. >> In addition, can the background image for the maps be changed dynamically ?
Yes. >> If this cannot be embedded easily in to Flex, could it be embedded in to a Flash 'wrapper' application which could control the look/feel of the map - and which in turn could be embedded in to the Flex ?
You can try this - we have direct APIs to load PowerMaps in other Flash files.

| Thanks for the response. Given that Flash 9 is now released and projects built in Flash 9 using ActionScript V3 are now usable from Flex (due to the recently released patch to Flex facilitating this), do you have any plans to build Charts/Maps in Flash 9 so that your products can be used from Flex ? Regards, Jamie.

Yes - that's on our wishlist too, but we do not have exact dates for the same.

I am curious to know if you have an update on this.
Thank you.

Hi Tara,
While we do not have an exact ETA for our next release, there's a tweak you can use to load existing charts/maps in Flex. It has been explained at http://flexexamples.blogspot.com/2007/12/load-swf-from-outside-and-call-its.html
Thanks,
