The swf was built without invisible buttons and the map image was inserted into the library before creating the animation swf. Now we have to remake the map image and rebuild the whole swf?

Can we place invisible buttons on the world map? Can they be shaped to cover the whole area of every continent?

ASKER

For now we need to cover continents only and not countries. When users click on a continent, we will produce a list of countries on a new web page for them to choose.

The world map of the swf is a bmp image imported into library. Can we accomplish what we discuss using that bmp? Please advise how. Thanks.

Thanks for your help so far. Something confuses me is this: My swf is now working as a world map (jpg image) masked with a tiny dot expanding to the full size of the map. Where and how should we start working on the clickables spots? Jump right into the jpg and play with it in the current fla? Or do we need to build a new jpg with the clickables spots and reimport it in a new fla similar to the old fla?

Something like this:

Except no oceans or countries. Only continents.

qAndreas, my actual map contains countries in various colors. Would that be a problem?

Would you help me with the attached fla to illustrate what you have covered?
Make 3 buttons: car, ground, house. Each of the buttons transfer the browser to a different url of you choice.
Thanks.
