   Hey there! If i use this tool http://www.ammap.com/visited_countries/index.php it wont display the map even though i have the correct flash version, maybe you can help me out? thx!

   This application is created by interactive maps.
   You can also have your visited countries map on your site.

   If you see this message, you need to upgrade your flash player.

   var so = new SWFObject(„http://www.ammap.com/visited_countries/visited_countries.swf“, „visitedcountries“, 728, 450, „7″, „#000000″);

   etc.etc.

   Thanks
   chris

   Hello there,
   I'm sorry but WordPress.com but your SWF file will have to be hosted elsewhere at some other file hosting service that supports SWF files. Perhaps Fileden or box.net. Or perhaps you use a Gigya shortcode in a text widget:

   thanks for the link, i checked section B of the 2nd link but i dont think it applies to the ammap code does it? maybe i just dont see it though... maybe you can help me out by telling me what i need to insert into my wordpress HTML page now?

   here is an example:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("http://www.ammap.com/visited_countries/visited_countries.swf", "visitedcountries", 728, 450, "7", "#000000");

   addLocation('CF', '', '', ''); //Central African Republic
   addToFlash();

   so.addVariable("stageWidth", 728);
   so.addVariable("stageHeight", 450);
   so.addVariable("infoOver", "enabled");
   so.addVariable("zoomFunction", "checked");
   so.addVariable("bgColor", "666666");
   so.addVariable("visitedColor", "5EB7DE");
   so.addVariable("notVisitedColor", "CDCDCD");
   so.addVariable("countryBordersColor", "666666");
   so.addVariable("helpTextColor", "000000");
   so.addVariable("helpText", "Mark the area you wish to zoom in");

   so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
   so.addParam("salign", "lt");

   so.write("visitedcountries");
   </script>

   <table width="728" bgcolor="#333333" border="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td style="color: #FFFFFF; font-face: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> Make your visited countries map</td><td align="right">JavaScript charts</td></tr></table>

   That's JavaScript, and I'm afraid you can't use that in WordPress.com:

   Thx!

   You can use Google maps:
