animate with ichoropleth & datamaps

[smartinsightsfromdata]

I'm using rMaps with shiny in a new (exciting) project.

To keep things under control and test feasibility I'm using the Diego Valle code for crime in Mexico, to introduce my code only once I'm sure all is working OK. I can display the Mexican map OK in shiny (great!!), but I have the following problems:

• As expected the slider does not work in shiny (not a problem). If I specify animate = NULL the map will become black: how to switch animation off without affecting the colouring of the map?
• In shiny I cannot see the legend with the code colours. How do I get it back?
• At the moment I'm still using the topo.json file stored in dropbox. Where it should be stored in Shiny Server to avoid conflicts & the dreaded Access-Control-Allow-Origin error?

Let me say once more that this is a great product!!

Yep. I needed to take away the multiple years from the df. Now with animate =NULL is ok. On the setURL issue, mysteriously I can make it work only with dropbox at the moment. Even my gihub.io site doesn't work! (but I can leave with that). The missing Legend on the bottom seems to be the main Shiny issue at the moment. Keep experimenting!
