Mostly it was the challenge of a designer trying to figure out some programming, and with some late nights, I managed to create this little thing. What it will do is display any location you enter or city you click on in the center of the world, with a measure of thousand-mile rings radiating from it. I originally tried it with the text, as in a previous design but the overlapping text made the cities difficult or impossible to click on. For now it loads centered on my home in Utah, but I think it’d be great sometime to set it up such that the default loading location is that of the visitor, determined via their ip address, but I think I’d be investing more time figuring out that programming than I ought to right now. Every now and then I’m have to do some design, of course. [...] [...] Once again I display what a geek I am as I set out to create a world map in actionscript .
