File started at 2.8 mb; encoded at medium 400kbps and amde the file 4.1mb…

re-encoded at low 150kbps; dropped 1mb to 1.8 mb… not bad

The video was taken with a canon s410 elph, crappy quality to begin with.

Embedded the movie using cs2 into the timeline, saved as swf, it came to 3mb give or take along with a 2 mb image reduced in the end.

Coded all the button actions to call by instance. Created a dynamic text box gave it an instance name and created a function to change the text in that box to display the State name and pull an count of entries from an external AS file what holds an array of random numbers that align with the state ID (for now) Not sure that the SWF reread from this AS or just loads it once… that is the for now part. I learned a great deal here, ready to do something fun and rewarding

(didnt color everything because i plan on change the design of kilroy)
Here is the directory to view the SWF FLA and AS of the Map

Attached is an image of a solution i took to eliminate lots of code, I think
that this may give me the option to do more things inside the callURL if
needed in the future. Using string concatenation saves some coding space.

Also attached is the way the file you sent me came over, somehow mail
tried to decode it, either way i found the function you wrote, tried applying
it, got it to work but i didnt understand the

VT_btn.onRelease = function(){
callURL(”VT”);
}

(most like because i didnt have the full file)

im guessing this means you can control buttons by their name?
without having to individual tie actionscript to each button like I did
(seen in image)
