Introducing Premium Map Pack 2.0

qemm — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:51:35 +0000

What is it?

We’re extremely happy to announce a new addition to our offerings – Premium Map Pack. It is a result of months of scrupulous work. There are two main aspects that set maps from the new pack apart:

Increased level of detail. We took extreme care of making those maps as accurate and as detailed as possible. Coastlines, pennisulas, fjords, borders, are now presented in greater detail and accuracy.
Number of countries. World map now includes even more countries, territories and even tiny island nations. All in all 252 areas are represented!

Current version of the Premium Map Pack includes four maps:

World
World with Antarctica
World in Continents
Europe

We will be adding the rest of the continens over the course of the coming weeks and possibly even other interesting maps in the future.

Check out a couple of sample strips from the Premium World map: Europe and America.

amMap 2.5.4 Released

qemm — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:25:35 +0000

We have just released a new version amMap 2.5.4 [Download] with the whole slew of new features, enhancements and fixes:

FEATURE: new attribute: active [true] (true/false)
If set to "false" the movie will be invisible to mouse events (hover, click, etc.) even if behavior associated with it is set – the mouse will rather interact with underlying map. This feature will allow you to create map overlays that do not interfear with the map functionality.
FEATURE: you can now instruct amMap to preserve the original color of the area like it is set in the map SWF. Set to "true" if you want to preserve color of all the areas. To preserve the color for individual areas you can set "preserve_color" attribute in the tag in your data.
FEATURE: lines can now display rollover balloon.
Additional parameters for data tag:

- balloon [true] (true/flase): whether to display balloon on rollover or not.
- title [text] (): line title

Additional related settings:

- [] ({title}): You can set any text here. Special code {title} will be replaced with whatever there is in ’s "title" attribute.
FEATURE: new setting :
[false] (true/false)
[false] (true/false)
[false] (true/false)
If set to true hovered movie/line/label will be brought in front of other movies/lines/labels.
FEATURE: new setting [] (color hex code)
If set all areas that do not have value attribute will be painted in this color. But only if other overriding color options are not set. I.e. color attribute in , or setting.
TWEAK: amMap now supports areas with negative values correctly.
BUG FIX: map enlargement was not functioning properly with redraw=true, again :)
BUG FIX: setData and timeline slide transitions were leaving some leftover area data if some areas were missing in the new data. This is now corrected with one downside: you have to have set in your settings file, because otherwise the area will be left colored the way it was before setData/slide.
NEW MAP: Costa Rica

amMap 2.5.3 Released

qemm — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:04:34 +0000

We just released amMap 2.5.3 [Download]

Changes:

FEATURE: new setting
If set to true clicks anywhere on zoom control’s grid will zoom
to that level rather then register as click on a map simmilar
to Google Maps (this is the default behavior from now on)
FEATURE: if has "hover_color" property it will now generate
rollover and click events like movies/areas and will invoke
amRegisterHover(map_id, oid) and amRegisterClick(map_id, oid)
JavaScript functions respectively.
BUG FIX: timeline now correctly passes "map_id" parameter to
amMap which in turn correctly returns it with event functions.

Kosovo added to the world map

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:23:19 +0000

Kosovo, a new country is now separated from Serbia in all maps of amMap. Although Kosovo doesn’t have ISO country code yet, but most likely it will be “KV”. So we used this code for the area instance name. To upgrade the map, you should simply overwrite your world.swf with a new one (by default it is in ammap/maps folder) and add this area to your data file:
