Yes, you can save the maps images from FusionMaps XT itself. Please go through the Exporting Maps as Images/PDFs section to see how to do this.

Yes - you can email the Flash maps as ActiveX Objects. But, most of the modern day email clients will not show the map for security reasons, as it's an ActiveX object. However, using the new image save feature, you can just right click on map, save it and send via email.

Not directly. But, you can retrieve the map data in CSV format using getDataAsCSV() JavaScript function. The function returns a string containing the CSV. You can save this string to a CSV file through AJAX etc.

Yes - FusionMaps XT works in 64 bit Operating Systems. If you are using Flash, you will need to install the 64 bit Flash Player along with 64 bit browser application.

If you are using Flash maps, you can enable the Debug Window and check the version stated in the Debug Window. In case, you wish to know the version of FusionCharts JavaScript Class (FusionMaps XT also uses the same JavaScript class), you can use FusionCharts.version JavaScript property to get the version. FusionCharts.version provides the version value as an array.

Yes - FusionCharts JavaScript Class (FusionMaps XT also uses the same JavaScript class) allows you to provide JSON data to the map. You will need to build your JSON as per the JSON format that the FusionCharts JavaScript Class accepts.

For more information on the JSON data format required to create a map, please go through the Using JSON as data source section.

No - FusionMaps XT cannot directly access any database, as it's based on Flash platform. You'll need to provide data to FusionMaps XT in XML/JSON format only. For this, you'll have to set a middleware script (like ASP, PHP, .NET, ColdFusion, JSP etc.), which will access your database and then build the XML/JSON output for FusionMaps XT.

Yes -very much. Just set <map animation='0' ..> in your XML and the maps won't animate any more.

Yes- starting from FusionMaps XT, the Flash maps are rendered in Opaque mode(default), allowing all DHTML elements like menu etc. appear over the Flash map.

Just set <map ... showPrintMenuItem='0' ...> in your XML data or { map : { ... showPrintMenuItem : '0' }... } in your JSON data.

You do not need to do anything extra. FusionCharts JavaScript Class will take care of it. All you need to do is pass the URL that you have. However, in case, you are rendering the map using HTML Embedding method, just URL-Encode the URL and then provide the same to the maps.

No - you need to use specially compiled map SWF files from FusionMaps for Flex to create maps in your Flex applications. Moreover, you need to use FusionMaps.swc (separate builds are provide for Flex SDK 2/3/4), the Flex Builder component, to load the maps into Flex applications.

There is a limitation in Flash maps. In Flash Player 10, the maximum size for a map is 8,192 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,216 pixels. (i.e., if a map is 8,192 pixels wide, it can only be 2,048 pixels high.). Note that in Flash Player 9 and earlier versions, the limitation is 2,880 pixels in height and 2,880 pixels in width.

No - none of these licenses allow you to include FusionMaps XT as a part of your commercial product. For that, you need an Redistributable license. Please contact us at Sales to get more information on Redistributable license.

Since Flash doesn't allow loading of XML documents/data from other domains, and modern browsers applies various security restrictions to cross domain communication, it is not directly possible to load data from other domains. However, for Flash maps a proxy page can do the trick. For example, use a proxy page say Relayer.aspx which connects to the remote data, reads it and then locally relays to your map.
