DATA FILE: AREAS

Areas are movie clips which are already in map file. Areas can contain movies, labels and lines. Areas should be placed in <areas> node:

<areas>
<area mc_name="UK" oid="area_0">
<description><![CDATA[<b>Some html formatted description can be placed here</b>]]></description>
</area>
</areas>

All available area properties (attributes)

mc_name String   Movie clip instance name.
