The obvious solution is ArcMap or one of the open source equivalents. All of them require someone who already knows them as they are complicated. Just find someone who already has the tools and skills and pay them or barter. For example if you gave me a CSV file with the state 2-letter codes and the color you want, it is a less than 1/2 hour job to give you back a JPG, but Hawaii and Alaska will be properly placed geographically and you will have to cut and paste the JPG to get something reasonable to show on a screen. That requires artistry to make it look good and I am not an artist.<br>

As Earnie said, the simplest solution would be Google Maps. Here's an <br>example and you can view the source to see how it's done:<br><br><a href="http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states.htm" target="_blank">http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states.htm</a><br>
<br>If Flash is an option, then you are pretty much paying for something or <br>developing it yourself.<br> </div></div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></div><br>--<br>
