[mapserver-users] Flash (swf) - Link between buttons and Element?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Marie-Eve,

  One possible was of quickly achieving this is would be for the buttons 
names to reflect the layer and shape they are associated with; so for 
example a button name would look like button_layerid_shapeid (ex 
button_2_44 would represent the element 44 on layer 2).

I have filed a ticket on this 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2691 with a patch to achieve 
this. Could you please review and comment?

Best Regards,
