transparent highlight effect

[Mark Smith]

I'd think you could have a square  graphic (all objects in Rev have  
the blendLevel property), which is initially hidden, then divide your  
map into a grid (squares the same size as the graphic), and whenever  
the mouse enters a grid square, place the graphic over that square  
and show it.

I'll leave figuring out the grid stuff to you :)

Best,

Mark
