  Well done!
  Easy to use, and looks great!

  Is there any way to add colored “dots” to designate cities on the map? I have tried, but the dots remain the same color as the map.

  
  

  Thanks

  hi Paul
  I’ve sent you email with the answer. Here is short answer: it’s possible, but better result can be achieved modifying flat (not 3D) globe, which you can find: here

  Thanks cesgra!

  
  

  I saw from your example that it is possible, but i still dont understand how. I dont need the locations to be very precise — i just need to add dots that keep their color.

  
  

  THanks again.

  I like the globe – very elegant design

  
  

  Is there a way to set the speed?

  
  

  Thanks
  Helmut

  Thanks azurefire,

  
  

  There is another one globe with possibility to change the speed:

  Hi,

  
  

  I am planning to use this globe for my presentation.

  
  

  But I need this globe to stop revolving after 5 seconds.

  
  

  Can you please help.

  
  

  I will really appreciate if you can help me do this.

  
  

  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  
  

  Kind regards,

  
  

  Prabs.

  Hi Jerry,
  I can only suggest you to google for the solution to this specific problem.

  Do you have this with actionscript code so we do not need the FLA to use?

  Wormss, I'm not sure exactly what do you mean? Actionscript is embedded in the FLA.

  I bought a previous version of your spinning earth globe and was able to get it going with a transparent background. Unfortunately, I am unable to get this version to have a transparent background. Can you give me any suggestions on this?

• dbruyere
  I should mention that I've tried the following only to get a black background:

  var bckgroundColor = "Transparent"; var bckgroundGradientColor = "Transparent";

  and I've set wmode to transparent as well.

  hi Derek Bruyere,

  these variables you are trying to define are only for color and not for transparency. it's good idea to do so! :) as for now, do it like this:

  • First step: Open FLA file, delete (or Guide) "bg" and "bg.gradient" layers from movieclip named "globe_mc" and export the new SWF
  • Second step: edit HTML file, change "wmode" variable from "window" to "transparent". Save it. That's it :-)

  how can i make the background transparent?

  Transparent globe

  * First step: delete "bg" and "bg.gradient" layers from movieclip named "globe_mc" and export the new SWF.
  * Second step: edit HTML file, change "wmode" variable from "window" to "transparent". Save it. That's it :-)
  

  Note: For the first step you must have flash editing software. For the second any text editor will do.

  Hi, I'm having some problem here: I've edited the parameters in the action-script in globe_mc, but it doesn't have any effect - how do I confirm these changes?

  
  #  /  posted on Jan 25, 2012
• cesgra
  One quick note: if you change the code (actionsript), the changes will be visible only in exported SWF file, not in the Flash Edting environment.

  I just purchsed and was able to place in powerpoint 2010. I'm totally lost with respect to changing attributes. I do not understand the instruction: "In Library panel go to movieclip named "globe_mc"

  Where is the library panel? Is this something in Powerpoint or something in the "Main" folder I downloaded? I can not find the movieclip named globe_mc
