amMap 2.6.0 Released

We just released a significant feature-full update to amMap. [Download]

Here’s a scoop of what’s new.

Features

  • Auto zoom for areas. Either use <zoom><auto_zoom> in settings or "auto_zoom" property of <area> in data.
  • Additional option for <balloon><arrow>: "none"
  • New setting <export_as_image><background_color>. Sets the background color for the exported images.
  • Ability to automatically shift overlapping movies. Use <movie><overlap_shift_x> and <overlap_shift_y> to control by how much pixels the each subsequent movie with the exact same coordinates are shifted on the map.
  • Show amMap version in developer mode.
  • amRegisterRollout callback function.
  • amMap now supports "wrapped" longitude. This means that it is now possible to have Mercator-calibrated maps that span -180/180 longitude allowing for example Pacific-centered maps. To enable this just add long_wrap="true" into <map> header.

Bug fixes

  • The linked areas to selected area are reverted back to selected color rather then default color.
  • A workaround fix for the bug in latest Flash Player version. Please avoid adding "width" attribute to <label> positioned by lat/long.
  • Double "Error loading file" message.
  • Fixed weird behavior in amtimeline.swf.
  • Fixed a bug in value color calculation.

Maps

  • UPDATED MAPS: Libya, Iran.
  • NEW MAPS: Angola, Botswana, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Swaziland, Zambia.
