Simulating Time-Aware Map Display in 9.3

[AmonMbugua]

Is there a way to achieve this?  We have a map that shows risk levels for all regions on a map.  However, the risk classification for any given region change over time.  We would like to provide  users with a slider or any other appropriate UI element that would enable them to view changes over time.

There is a sample on the Code Gallery that uses the 1.5 version of the JS API to display data over time, perhaps it will help you setup something similar?

I was looking for a sample that retrieves data from a database and draws directly on a map.  Let's say we have a region named A and it's security assessment is level 4 (color coded amber) for January, my application needs to retrieve this data from a db and paint polygon amber.
