var setMap = function (name) {
        var data = {
            map: 'world_en',
            backgroundColor: null,
            borderColor: '#333333',
            borderOpacity: 0.5,

            normalizeFunction: 'linear',

            },
            onRegionOver: function (event, code) {
                if (code == 'ca') {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            },
            onRegionClick: function (element, code, region) {
                var message = 'You clicked "' + region + '" which has the code: ' + code.toUpperCase();
                alert(message);
            }
        };

        data.map = name + '_en';
        var map = jQuery('#vmap_' + name);
        map.width(map.parent().parent().width());
        map.show();
        map.vectorMap(data);
        map.hide();
    }

Anyone knows how to use the values of the clicked region in the onRegionClick function? I use this map to provide website statistics and want to alert on click something like "1000 Views in US (United States)"

As i said in my ment, i found out the solution right after i asked the question, but for those who have this little problem, too i just post my solution. You just have to append the string you want to display to the label.

onLabelShow: function (event, label, code) {
    if(sample_data[code] > 0)
        label.append(': '+sample_data[code]+' Views'); 
}

hope it helps.
