Hi,
You might try something along these lines...
Make your rollover instances on certain frames (each county, for
example, on its own frame, in one layer), and then have the rollover
action "goto and stop" on that frame. Since you'll have a separate
text for each county, having a separate actionscript for each would be
possible. Another possibility would be to put your frame reference on
an external XML file and then have the actionscript interact with that
data to do the mouseovers.

I am somewhat new to Flash.

I am trying to create a Interactive Map of the State of Tennessee reflecting
all the counties of Tennessee. Below the interactive map will be a list of
names of all the counties. When a user places the mouse over a name then the
county on the map will change color. Basically a rollover effect. When the
user either clicks on the name of the county or the county on the interactive
map, then the user will be directed to a page that will display information
about that county. The information is being retrieved from a database.

Any informaiton is helpful to the start of this interactive map.

My main problem is creating the rollovers for the interactive map in flash.

Aasin,

I would start off with a good quality detailed map of tennessee which has all
the counties marked on it and is a size suitable for your final flash. Then
bring this into Flash and use the drawing tool to trace round a county, press
F8 to convert to a symbol, convert to a button and then use key frames in the
button to give it different roll over and click effects. Repeat for all the
counties, delete the original image which you have used to trace around and
then you have an interactive map. You can thenassign actions to the buttons
which loads up a movie clip underneath the map and populate this with the
content of your database. I did something to this a while ago and although it
is time consuming it should not be too challenging for you. Just keep building
it up button by button and save and test regularly.
