<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure if this is the best place to post such
a request, but I'm a Flash MX developer looking for some paid contract help in
integrating offline MapInfo files into an online site built in
Flash. I could probably figure it out myself, but I'm on a bit of a time
limit and was hoping to tap into some pre-existing wisdom. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know that that there are plans in the works to
have swf output support in the new version of </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>MapServer, which sounds very exciting. I don't necessarily need
vector output though. Flash MX (the newest version of Flash) supports
dynamic loading of jpegs, which should be fine. (although yes,
I know, jpegs and maps don't mix all that well). What I need is
the ability to interact with point data in a dynamically loaded map. I'm
guessing MapServer will need to pull this from MapInfo TAB files.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I already have a basic prototype flash front-end
working but would like some help with the MapServer integration. Instead
of javascript I'd be passing variables in/out of a swf, interacting with
both coordinates in Mapserver and point data in MySql. My front-end
prototype uses coordinate 'buttons' of buildings that, when clicked, pull data
from a MySql database. I can take care of the MySql data, as long as I can
link up point coordinates from MapServer with database IDs.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm very excited about this project, and at some
point would be happy to go open-source with the Flash front-end.
I think there is a lot of potential in using the newest version of Flash in
online mapping applications. If anyone is interested in helping (paid of
course) or giving some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.</FONT></DIV>
