Well i made the flash world map browser for intrepid travel and it is fed partly by xml controls (as per usual) they are really pleased with it, and i am too - it gives intrepid a new dimension to searching for trips on their site.
cutting up and naming about a million movieclips. i used a third party actionscript command which set the movieclip instance names for all the countries.
