Next we will drag a new interaction icon onto the flowline and then attach a map icon onto it. Select Event for the response type and click OK. Double-click the E above the map you've attached to the interaction icon. The Properties: Response window will appear on the screen. You will need to double-click the first line that contains the words "Icon Shockwave Flash Movie" in the Sender box. Next, double-click event and getURL in the Event name box. Click OK. |
