How To Show a Callout for a Map Feature

Use the features and showCallout APIs to show callout bubbles programmatically. You can also use these API to have a specific callout opened when the map first loads. 


<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="map_data/swfobject.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="map_data/avenza.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var theMap = AVENZA.embedViewer("map", "750", "500", 
            {
                baseURL:"map_data/",
                flashSecuritySandbox: AVENZA.AUTO_SANDBOX,
                loadedCB: function () {
                    theMap.features('STATE_ABBR="MT"').showCallout();
                }
            }
        );

        function callout() {
            theMap.features('STATE_ABBR="TX"').showCallout();           
        }
    </script>

</head>
<body>
    <div style="position:relative"> 
        <div id="map">
        </div>
        <hr>
        <button type="button" onclick="callout()">Show Callout</button>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
