[mapguide-users] AJAX/FUSION Viewer :: Pass data from Flash to Map (2 Frames)

[briancomeau]

Thanks James, I will read through those. 

By the way, where can I find sample data and instructions on integrating it?
I would like to make a small Access database to test these things off of so
that I can change data as I like. The samples that came with MG are in .sdf
format that I cannot get open to edit.

Thanks!
