Feel free to download and use this flash map to see exactly how it was created. A good friend and contributer to this site Greg Motion Flash Designs has offered this flash tutorial Canada map to me to put up for download to share with other users how these cool maps can be created in flash.

This map has been made so that the user must first select one of Canada’s provinces, before a second option is proposed. This second option is disabled until the user has selected a state.The user can still select a different state before choosing the second option, if he clicked on the wrong one for example.

Each button “option 1” and “option 2”, have their own URL, to which the corresponding 2 letters from the state selected will be added, like this:
http//:wwwyoururl.com/ON
Where the blue part is loaded from XML and the red part added in flash. You can literally change almost every parameter in the XML file and there is only 1 node to make it easier.
