With the Google Maps Flash API, I want to add an event listener which fires when the Marker is added to the Map using
map.addOverlay();
Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE
is not fired, though it seems logical. What are the alternatives?
In my Flex project, can I add markers by its address instead of this:var myGeographicCoordinates:LatLng = new LatLng(myLatitude, myLongitude);for example add marker by "Paris, France"
View 2 RepliesI had this same issue when I created an application using google's javascript API and the solution was to have closure on the callback function creating the multiple markers.I can not seem to find an example for making multiple custom markers, with anything other than using some random math function to create the multiple markers.
GlobalVars is a class that contains static public var types to keep up with however many addressess, lats, lngs, etc...I have tried using markermanager but it has some issues that I finally just gave up on. Starting with
retrieveLatLngAddress.addEventListener(GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_SUCCESS, function(event:GeocodingEvent):void{
This is where I begin geocoding by address, rather than using an httpservice, as I was doing before, but I ran into issues of one httpservice result would return faster than another, which would in turn place the wrong data with the wrong marker.
Obviously, I have not found a solution, because this way is doing the same thing.Question being, how can I retrieve multiple markers info and keep all the markeroptions in order with the information being returned.
Here's the code:
public function makeMultipleMarkers(destinationAllObj:Object):void {
removeRouteMarkers();
myMarkers = [];
GlobalVars.myIcon = [];

When the Flash movie begins, I do map.setSize(new Point(stage.width, stage.height)); on the map initialization. I'm using version 1.20 of the SWC component on Flash CS5 and AS3. However, when I compile the SWF, the player crashes. I've seen that with v1.8 of the API you can resize the map to the stage size with no problem.
Since Google has announced that it is deprecating Google Maps for Flash, I am need of some alternatives.elaborate here in order to get the best pick of the maps, since the google maps for flash will be deprecated in next 3 years. Let's get here the best opinions of the peoples - which maps which is build on the Flash platform shall be used instead ?

View 1 RepliesWhen using map3d, the default marker creation is always perpendicular to the viewport. How can I create a marker that lays down flat against the map? I can't use GroundOverlay because it becomes overly tiny when the map is zoomed out. How can I create a matrix3d object that will rotate/scale/skew my Marker's foreground DisplayObject so it remains flat against the map when in perspective mode?
View 1 RepliesI am changing over one of my projects from google maps to yahoo maps and was wondering who out there has experience with the yahoo maps api. Below you will see the code i was using with the google maps api to create custom markers using a library item as that marker. The library asset has some variables that need to be defined as you will see in the first part of my for loop. and this function needs to clear all the previously created overlays, before the for loop is run.

I am working on a map for my company and have been using some tutorials and sample code I've found. All has been going well until I try to use an original marker. When I add the line of code into the marker object the map draws a blank.
so, this code works fine and uses the default marker when using the line below.
var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(33.38298626887102, -86.67185000000000)); map.addOverlay(m);
But when I add the suggested code pasted below from Layers Magazine for adding an original marker, which is a movie clip in my library names 'marker', the map no longer works.

I am writing a Flex application for use on a private intranet with no external Internet access. I want to use Google's 3D Maps Flex API, but it must be connected to the internet to download map tiles on demand.
Is there a way to locally cache the 3D map tiles and data so that I can run this app without an internet connection? And if not, is there a 3D GIS that supports Flex integration and allows for a local map cache?
I creating a flash app that loads a RSS of a plublic map with a custom route path and draws lines from the coordinates on a Away3D Sphere.It works preety well when I'm testing locally, but when I publish online, the app can't load the RSS. I think Google Maps disable access from other domains.Does anyone knows another way to access this map RSS directly from google? Now to fix this, I'm hosting the RSS.

View 1 Replieshow close to a google maps like interface can be created in flash. Could this be a new opensource project?What the project needs:
-Be customizable via xml (load any map you want zooming options etc)
-Load maps dynamicaly acording to zoom level
-Easy to scale (this way it can be viewed in regular compters as well as mobile devices)
-Easy to plot points and save to db or xml file
-As you drag map to one side it would load map images to fill empty space created.
how do I get a location that I want in the API? Is this another piece of code I need to define in the API or actionscript.

I'm working on a project, written in AS3. I'm using the Google Maps API to load different maps, add custom markers, ... All that works, but I'd like to create something different. Imagine it being an application to create an itinerary. There are 10 markers on my map, and the user could click all of them to create an itinerary between those markers. I've tried with Polyline, but that only creates lines from one point to the other without following the actual roads. Then I've found out about the existence of "Directions" and "Route" in the Google Maps API, but I can't wrap my head around that. Or I'm doing something really wrong. Also, that is for one point to the other - mine needs to have multiple waypoints. I've found dozens of examples on how to do it with JavaScript, but the project HAS to be made in AS3. (Yeah, ... I know) If there's anyone who could give me a push in the right direction,
