Hello,
I've been presented with the challenge of incorporating a flash map widgit, into the cck admin module in drupal.

The map widgit allows you to select dots on the map, then pull out the coordinates using javascript. I've never made a custom cck flash field, nor have I have ever done anything like this.
What are the steps to get this working guys?
The book "Flash with Drupal"
The book "Flash with Drupal" will have you doing this by Chapter 3. By chapter 6 it gets into integrating javascript with flash and drupal. Well worth the read.
Thank you for the reply, are
Thank you for the reply, are you sure this will embed a flash swf into the cck system and allow you to pick up values from javascript to store into fields?
I need to have the flash replace a field inside a content type.
Reading the book myself at
Reading the book myself at the moment, I'm at chapter 5. Thus far I've got a flash swf acting as the "front end" of a CCK based custom content type. Chapter 6 is where it starts the javascript integration, but it sure looks like what you're asking for is covered in the book.
