Interactive World Map
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:39 pm
OK...
So it's been proposed for some time that we draft up an interactive map, with either flash or the like. This has sorta been low on my priority list, but now I'm starting to get down to it. As of the last few days, I've been trying to learn Flash as much as I can in order to tackle this task. Thus far, I've seemingly got my hands on the basics - which is, I think, all we really need out of a map of this kind.
So here is a rough prototype of said map (note that only a few countries work at the moment):

I'm looking for suggestions, comments, or anything else that will be helpful in the early stages of trying to draft this damn thing up.
Note: I know it's "big," but that's just the base resolution - it will be scaled down once embedded. I am aware that for some reason, Kahlahra and Najjir seem to overlap to some extent. I'm trying to figure this one out. Any other major overlaps, let me know
