Thanks for the reply..
I guess i am not familiar with the differences in dataURL() or dataXML(), I am using the GUI tool to add the information for my map and then saving the XML output to a file for the map to read. It sees everything as it should (ie Colors, rollover effects and etc.). its the URL part its having problems with. I will try changing the URLS to where they are not absolute to see if it makes a difference..
