This is a very nice piece of work - it does a comprehensive job of rendering all the node styles I can think of and it loads much quicker than the freemind applet. The look and feel of the rendered map will feel very familiar to a freemind user. Great stuff!

== Very impressive and useful.... but has some issues ==
 
Yes I agree. This has the tremendous advantage of increasing the audience to freemind maps since I'd venture to say more home PC's have Flash installed rather than Java.
 
A minor point: The Flash nodes have visual queues (attached semi-circles) on parent nodes so readers instantly knew children nodes were below it. I think this would be a very good idea for the Java object to employ.
 
Now I know the Flash object is a prototype, but I thought I'd mention the problem I was having.
Actually all I know is that after a certain point in gradually adding info to my mindmap the flash object had a issue loading it.
Freemind and the java applet had no problem by the way.
 
I am purely guessing at possibly causes due to the content of my document.
Its size is only 300k.
It had some nodes with quite large text containing C code.
Some nodes contains smallish sized xml text conforming to our own schema.
 
So I think there a still some things to iron out.
 
But once sorted, will be sweeeta.
 
Nice work. Keep it up.
 
== Navigation on large maps with sublinks ==
 
When navigating through large maps with a lot of links to submaps it would be nice to remember to position
of the last view.
I mean For the event you go back to the old map and reset the view when gooing into a linked map.
Otherwise it happens that if you enter a very small map from a huge one you don't see anything until you scroll the position where the small map is or click on reset.
On the other hand when you go back then from your small map to the huge one you have to scroll back to the place you left before.
