hi basically I would like to display a static map of an office at work, have a prompt to enter a device name and then this is displayed on the map as a flashing icon! - ideally I'd like a txt file which would contain the device ref location (x,y) - any pointers in the general direction would be appricated...

KK, well im not to sure about using the txt file, i will have to look into this but i would use one of two ways to do this:

1. Have all the places in the office as movie clips then on RollOver it displays a message of what it is. But this does not solve the problem if somone is using it to look for somthing in the office.

2. Having a list somewhere of the items in the office then when you select the item it makes that movie clip play a different frame so it could flash or do anything you want. This coulde be very easily coded but would be harder to update than using a .txt file.

Hope this helps,

thanks Flabby Rabbit - I suppose what I'm trying to do is ask for an input "Enter Access Point Number" and when the user put's in the Access Point (i.e. AP02) this device is highlighted on the map... It's getting the input to tie into what frame to use to display the location...

cheers
