I really like the interactive weather map on weather.com
http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...MapLayer=radar
Has anyone tried to extract and display just the map and controls?
Displaying the web page (even in kiosk mode) takes up too much screen space. If it were possible to fill the screen with the map (and controls) that would be very useful.

well its a flash applet so its definitely attainable.. only problem is its still in beta so they will probably change it a billion times before its finalized.
definitely embeds but it doesnt change aspect ratios.. that kinda sucks..

What exactly did you embed? (how did you figure out what to embed?)Quote:

Thanks...Paul
open the page in firefox.. go to tools. page info... media tab....and scroll down that list until u see http://image.weather.com/web/flash/FMMain.swf. Save that to your skin folder and embed it just like u would embed any flash movieQuote:

I presume the map is no longer being updated from the internet. Is there any way around that?
Thanks...Paul
FYI now that the link has been posted in there, you can simply right click on the link in Sonix's post above, and choose "Save Target As" to save it to your hard drive.
it automatically updates itself as long as you have internet connection.Quote:
