Now with zodiac constellations.

The shoreline data is now contained in the swf, so the xml file is no longer needed. Also, I fixed a layering issue with the city label and removed some of the extra white space.

Fixed a problem with the Draggable Star component that occured when the star was on the far side of the sphere.

Land features were removed from the earth in the upper right panel.

This Flash accepts 4 flashvars parameters:

• numLat - number of latitude circles (spaced evenly in altitude between the poles)
• numLon - number of longitude hemicircles
• latColor, lonColor - optional parameters to specify the colors of the lines, in hexadecimal (e.g. latColor=ff0000 for red latitude lines)

There is an optional flashvars parameter, lat, that can be used to specify the angle demonstrated in the diagram. The default latitude is 48°.

The size of the movie is 185 by 245 pixels.

Added the ability to put lettered discs on the map. The locations of the these discs can be specified with the parameters aDiscLon, aDiscLat, bDiscLon, bDiscLat, cDiscLon, and cDiscLat. The size of the discs can be controlled with the optional parameter discScale, where discScale=1 is the default.

Added two new flashvars parameters:

• showGrid - if showGrid=true then gridlines are added to the map (note that the 180° gridline is replaced with the IDL)
• gridColor - optional parameter to control the color of the grid

This Flash movie can be used for both the named line and random coordinate questions. The accepted flashvars parameters are:

• crossLon, crossLat - if both are defined a cross is added at that coordinate
• lineLat - if defined a line is added at that latitude
• lineLon - if defined a line is added at that longitude (cf. showIDL below)
• showIDL - if showIDL=true and lineLon=180 then the IDL is drawn instead of the 180° longitude line
• offset - optional, specifies the initial longitude at the left side of the map, the default is either 120° west of the cross, or 120° west of the longitude line, or 190°
• crossColor - optional, specifies the color of the cross in hexadecimal (e.g. crossColor=ff0000 for red), default is black
• lineColor - optional, specifies the color of the lines

The natural size of this movie is 350x180.

This Flash will put 3 lettered discs on the globe. The parameters to define the locations of these discs are aLat, aLon, bLat, bLon, cLat, and cLon. Optionally, the viewing perspective can be set using viewLat and viewLon, which define the location of the sub-viewer point.

This movie takes three flashvar parameters: angleA, angleB, and angleC, which define the angle of the sun from the zenith in each diagram (where positive angles go CW).

This component takes two flashvars parameters: dec and lat, which define the declination of the sun and latitude of the observer. Both should be expressed as angles between -90 and 90.
