Reposting this from the "Using FusionMaps" forum, since this is clearly the more appropriate forum for it (and I didn't get a response there): Hi, I've got the NewWorld map up and running (on a local network using private data, unfortunately, so I can't provide a link), and overall it's pretty awesome. I am having one problem, though - I've assigned "link" attributes to each of my elements, and they're all working just fine, except that when I mouse over Russia, the cursor doesn't turn into a hand (i.e. the CSS value cursor:pointer, or the hand you see when you mouseover a link). Clicking on Russia activates its "link" attribute just fine, it's just the mouseover bit that's broken. Any idea what's going on? Here's the entity declaration for Russia in my map (swapping angle-brackets for regular brackets to deal with the forum: [entity id='RU' value='16.36' link='javascript:asiaMap.renderMap();' /] And yes, asiaMap.renderMap() is a working function defined elsewhere, and I've got a declaration in my entityDef section that looks like this: [entity internalId='174' newId='RU' /] Thanks a bunch, -JR

Hi Tara, Check out http://www.fusioncharts.com/maps/docs/Contents/MapSS/DistrictofColumbia.html. Hope that helps. -JR

Hi Sudipto, Sure: I'm using the FCMap_NewWorld.swf, and debug mode reports "Version: 3.0.6". -JR

Hi Pallav, I'd like to do what Dhruv is hoping to achieve as well. That is: I'd like to refer to entities by fields other than their internal ID when I'm setting their values. Here's the scenario I'm in: I've got data for a whole bunch of countries in my database, and each country on my end is referred to by its two-character country code, which seems to be the same kind as the one you use in your NewWorld Specification Sheet for each entity's Short Name. What I'd like to do is just be able to go ahead and refer to each entity by its Short Name instead of its ID, because your Short Names already match my country names, and my country names certainly don't match your internal IDs. Is there an easy way to do this, or am I going to have to write code that'll have to do some gross mapping using the specification sheet to create a huge section in my XML, remapping entity IDs to the short names they already have (and should in theory know about)? Thanks, -JR
