Hi group ;o)

i am struggling to solve the following problem.

i have a four framed page, one frame will show a list of locations that have been returned from a database search - the locations will include a title which will also be a link and a short text description

one frame will have a small flash map - & when the user mouses over the location link a dot will appear in the map to indicate where it is - the map is to be done in flash and javascript to be used to tell flash what to do

one frame will show a larger description of each location
one frame will have the search in it

there are two ways i can think of that could be used to name the locations

one will be the location is found by using the Landranger Grid Reference - so the js would add the grid ref and the dot would appear accordingly

the other way would be several frames in the flash movie each with a small circle/square around its area, and each location would have to tell us if they're east, west etc etc

the grid ref method is the preferred way of doing this - but i can also see probably the hardest

i would really really appreciate a link to a tutorial for this or any other help at all
