in lack of your reply, i tried to replace the block character with a g with font face as the embeded webdings, however using the included files and flash 8, i get compiler errors in Map.as about:
objects.LEGEND
objects.BACKGROUND
objects.PLOT
objects.TOOLTIP
all of these things give errors such as property does not exist.
the g character of webdings is not my only alternative...if necessary boxes can be drawn with the drawing api, but i can't get very far if i cant compile it.
your help would be appreciated as i need to address this issue asap.
Thanks
