Have you developed any other mapping component with more powerful features.

Can you post coordinates for india? I’ve tried from ur code but, I’m not getting the right .svg.

After 2 hours I have finally figured out. Thanks

Even then, a couple of things will still continue to strongly favor Flex. Firstly, being a plugin, it’s only restricted by the OS policies on what can’t be done. Javascript, on the other hand, is restricted by the browser’s sandbox which makes certain types of applications impossible. The new html5 spec is going to expand that sandbox to be closer to what Flash offers though. Secondly, Flash does not face the problem of non-conformity and browser quirks being all under Adobe’s control.

Having said that, comparing Flash/Flex to HTML5 is somewhat unfair. It’s the whole stack that comes with it, including Javascript and CSS. The community around HTML/JS/CSS is much larger compared to that of Flash. For enterprises that already have a lot invested in Flash, it may not make sense to migrate today due the problems you have already mentioned. But it’s not long before they should start considering it as a serious alternative, especially with heavy backing from companies such as Google and Apple. Google Wave is a perfect example of the kind of enterprise applications that can be developed with this stack.

Yes, Javascript has more RIA tools because there are more frameworks. Flex on the other hand has two full-featured IDEs — Flash/Flex Builder (Eclipse) and IntelliJ IDEA — which are serious development environments and suitable for all Flex devs, especially those coming from a Java background.

You can’t compare Flex to jQuery communities. Flex is used almost exclusively to build RIAs while jQuery is used for trivial stuff like rollovers (as well as some full-blown RIAs). By the way, Flexcoders is a very active Flex community.

I think you are missing the point about Enterprise adoption. This area is all about data management and security. Where are the serious Javascript frameworks for passing fully-typed Java/C#/PHP/Ruby/Python objects between client and server? Automatic syncrhonisation of data and intelligent conflict resolution (for Java)?

HTML5 is making waves in terms of replacing Flash for simple video applications. This is fine and sensible for these cases (if it ever supports H.264 in Firefox of course) but outside of this, it remains to be seen whether it will have much impact. Considering the history of implementation of other standards — CSS2 for example — it will be at least another 5–10 years before HTML5 is fully supported cross-platform (if iE comes on board) and by then Flash and Silverlight will be light years ahead.

The number of RIA tools JavaScript dwarf those of flex and flash. The advent of ever faster js engines, ChromeOS, and mobile app development with js/css/html5 and soon SVG will make Flex even smaller.

I evaluated both and am completely underwhelmed by the size and strength of the flex community. I just looked on the #flex irc channel and there are only 50 users there. There are consistently 500 users on the #jquery channel alone.

HTML 5 isn’t even finalized and it is making huge wave. That is why you get fewer search results.

Check out ajax.org and gRaphael for awesome charting.

How do i disable the check box enabled state in your componenent ?

I came to see your component from one of my friends application. He had used it. So i also just jumped in and used one for my application . Everything went well , till the need arose for me to show the component in view mode.

What i have ? :
I have a panel in which your component is included. The required renderer file and the component file are placed in the package.
Now in view mode , i want to show the user the tree , but restrict his ability to click the check box . I am at a loss here .

I need this to happen only in the view mode .
Could you help me out .

Also have you updated this component ?

Thanks srirangan.

Your coordinates does not have any “C“s, “L“s and “M“s. Is it only because of different SVG file? I searched for many svgs on wikipedia and almost all of them have C, L and M in the coordinates.

Thanks for your response.

I’ll try to find the link for that file and post it here. It has been a while since I worked on this and locating the file will take me some time.

For the map of India, I would recommend the following:
1. Use the iLog Elixir map components since it has a shapefile converter
2. The shape files for India is available on the Election Commission of India website
