I have a project that requires me to create interactive schematic maps for rail networks. Something along the lines of London's tube map (Not the tube map itself. Are there any flash libraries out there that can assist with this sort of thing?
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 have created a site for my relative's garden. They have already registered there location and info with google maps and I have already installed the api in the site. I also, already have the map located on their location with an pin over it, but I was trying to figure out how to make the map pull the information that pops up when you click that pin. Do I need to create that myself or is there a way I can pull that from google? Here is a link to the site: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI 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 2 RepliesI have to create a marker with 3 triangles at 120 degrees with each other. The fill colour of the three triangles will be different (to be decided depending upon the value of some other variable).
Google Maps can accept DisplayObjects as markers. How do I go about creating one manually?
how I can make my flash map look as slick? I can make decent maps in flash but would like to make transparent windows, slick dropdowns, etc.
View 4 RepliesI'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,

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?
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'm developing an application using the Google Maps API with Adobe Flex Builder 3. Wrote the "HelloWorld" code provided by the GoogleMaps Reference...

everything goes well but the application consist on a cartesian plane that, optionally, could have the GoogleMap displayed on the background. The point is that I don't know how to hide the map once it is loaded. I would like to load it only if I click on a checkbox
I came here after searching over the GoogleMaps Reference for some "enable/disable map" function, but I had no luck.
I 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 = [];

View 1 RepliesI have recently been trying to get access to the maps on the iPhone from within an app made in Flash. I originally tried Google maps but soon figured that it doesn't work due to it using Flash Player. I then managed to get Yahoo maps working on the iPhone, with no problems, then when I went back onto the Yahoo maps developer section I saw that they are taking down their service. I now have to think up another option, Yahoo recommend Ovi maps,getting maps to work in Flash (on the iPhone) and what your work around was.I have a client who requires a way to show the location of their company and would like a way to use the geolocation so a client can find where they are.
I also know that Google have a Javascript API but I am unsure whether this will work, maybe I'm being too skeptical? If there is not an API I can develop on does anyone know whether or not there is a way that I can open an already existing app (Google maps) on the iPhone, and possibly push the "current location" and "address of business" in to the direction fields.
how 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.
