Moving thread to dev@.  Users@ in bcc in case someone else is interested in
this.

The d in the path node is a stringified set of points which are connected
by lines.  M is for moveTo, L is for lineTo and Z signifies closing the
path back to the first point.

Each country (or region) has its own shape which is denoted by the d
string.  The series of path objects is sufficient to draw all the countries
using a stroke and a fill.

Looking at your coordinates, it looks like a closed polygon.
You might want to try to use Mercator projection to project the lat long
coordinates to cartesian coordinates.
Here is a very straightforward implementation of this in AS3:
*https://bitbucket.org/gka/as3-proj/src/ec91cdd098a15ab1e2cbf5bbd3a3221a36507685/net/vis4/map/proj/MercatorProjection.as?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default
<https://bitbucket.org/gka/as3-proj/src/ec91cdd098a15ab1e2cbf5bbd3a3221a36507685/net/vis4/map/proj/MercatorProjection.as?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default>*

Basically for each lat/long co-ordinate in your 'coordinates' array, call
MercatorProjection.project(), which should give you a Point object.  Use
these series of Points to draw a shape, which represents your State/region.

Do let me know if you need any further help

Thanks,
