Hi group  ;o)

(& apologies to all the Flash & frame haters out there - but i'm hoping
someone can help me)  or alternatively i'm more than willing to listen
to other solutions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i am struggling to solve the following problem.

i have a four framed page, one frame will show a list of locations that have been
returned from a database search - the locations will include a title which will also
be a link and a short text description

one frame will have a small flash map - & when the user mouses over the location
link a dot will appear in the map to indicate where it is - the map is to be done in
flash and javascript to be used to tell flash what to do

one frame will show a larger description of each location 
one frame will have the search in it

there are two ways i can think of that could be used to name the locations

one will be the location is found by using the Landranger Grid Reference - so the js
would add the grid ref and the dot would appear accordingly

the other way would be several frames in the flash movie each with a small
circle/square around its area, and each location would have to tell us if they're
east, west etc etc

the grid ref method is the preferred way of doing this - but i can also see probably
the hardest

i would really really appreciate a link to a tutorial for this or any other help at
all

i have a little js knowledge, enough to be able to manipulate code
that has already been written, but writing my own is not something
i've done yet.
