Once you get the free Adobe SVG viewer installed (http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html) be sure to check out the following interactive map of the US with some great SVG interactivity:

>>>I have been asked to review a project. The project was started using Flash, but someone asked me if there were any other options. The Flash object displays an object with a finite number of buttons and depending on what button is pressed and in what order a finite number of messages is displayed in a designated area (not very specific huh <s>).
