Your first WMS map

Make your first map viewer.

This is a step by step approach to make your first map. We assume you have downloaded "map_extention.mxp" and installed it using "Macromedia Extension Manager".

1. Open Macromedia Flash
2. Create a new Flash document.

If everything is well you should see a window like this. On the right you would normally see the component window. (Otherwise press Ctrl+F7) There you should find a group called "Map Viewers" and inside the group the components called IMSConnector and Mapviewer.

Drag a WMSConnector-component, a Layers-component and a MapComponent into the stage. You can resize the components by using the "Free Transform Tool" inside the Tools window. The next step is to connect all the components after you made the desired layout.

- Select the WMSConnector.
- Open the parameter window (Ctrl-F3).
- Give the WMSConnector the instance name "my_conn".
- Fill the following parameters as described down here.

- Select the map component and fill the parameters as described here

Select the Layers component and fill the parameters as described here

A simple compile of the movieclip (ctrl-enter) should show you this.
