It's very cool. :) Anyone able to edit the .FLA file to remove the word stalker and post the .SWF? Sorry, I don't have a Flash editor... :)

which word do you want instead? write down the whole paragraph, I'll replace the text for you.

Just end the sentence early and take out "and become a stalker."

:)

That "stalker" word will stop many from using it, and has legal implications, as stalking is a crime.

Erwin, try this one and see if it works for you.

remember to rename it, I named it usermap1.swf

That's awesome! :)

Okay, I'll show you guys how to integrate this into your forums easily with a PHP file. ;)

1) Make a new template called "usermap" with the following contents:

2) To save 1 query in "maphandler.php" - find out the custom user profile id you are using.

Find this:

And delete it.

Then, find this:

This occurs THREE times - replace ALL THREE with your profile id number.

Done! 1 less query (not that it really matters)

Save and upload "maphandler.php" to your forums directory.

3) Upload "usermap.php" attached below to your forums directory.

Just link to "usermap.php" and the UserMap will be integrated into your forums. The "usermap.php" will prevent guests from viewing the UserMap - why waste bandwidth on guests? ;)

By the way, if you're using mtha's usermap1.swf that is modified to have the word stalker removed, keep the name of the file as usermap1.swf and change the code in the "usermap" template from usermap.swf to usermap1.swf (this occurs TWICE) or it won't work for some reason. :)

Another thing - how do you make the pin smaller??? :)

I just opened the .fla (with Flash MX) file and scaled the "pin" library item down. (ctrl-L openers library items). Then "publish" it.

What I'd really like is to remove the usernames, so they only show up with a mouse over... but have NO clue how to do it.

Here's the map with 131 users in the USA map. I'd guess by the end of the week there will be as many as 500, obviously all major metropolitan areas are going to be bad. Dallas for example is already messed-up.

is any way to make it on PHP only? like here -> http://pub31.bravenet.com/guestmap/s...rd=&lightmap=1 flash is crap :(

Yep. Very simple, I've done it. All it took was some simple PHP knowlidge (which was my level about 3 weeks ago, now I've read the entire PHP manual and remember 90% of it...)

I'll attach a ZIP file with my php's and templates.
