Fla-shop.com F.A.Q.

It is possible. You need to use Flashvars to pass a dynamic XML to the map.

If you are using the SWFObject method,  please refer to the following sample code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var flashvars= {
        xmlfile1: "locator_map_script.php",
        datafile: "data.swf"
        };
	var params = {
	wmode: "transparent"
	};
	swfobject.embedSWF("locator_map.swf", "Map", "500", "400", "9.0.0", "", flashvars, params);
</script>
<div id="Map">&nbsp;</div>

If you are using the non-SWFObject method, please refer to the following sample code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="500" height="400" id="locator_map" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="locator_map.swf" />
<param name=FlashVars value="xmlfile1=locator_map_script.php&datafile=data.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<embed src="locator_map.swf?xmlfile1=locator_map_script.php&datafile=data.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="500" height="400" name="locator_map" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

The script must create and return a valid XML file to the output. You can use PHP, ASP, Perl or any other script languages for this.
