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 RepliesI am creating a little map app where you are given information, video and images regarding different campuses in a university. I am using the customContent method to insert video player object into the infoWindow but when I do this it gets rid of my text content and becomes the only visible thing to the user. How Can I work around this and have both text and video in the infoWindow? Demo link

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 RepliesWith 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?
Is there anyway not to use .swc from google maps for the flex application, as the application i want to develop will be accessible on mobile also.
View 2 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]

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.

Google Maps can accept DisplayObjects as markers. How do I go about creating one manually?
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'm using Google Maps with Flex 3. I'm having problems clearing markers. Users can select which data they want marked on the map by selecting an item in a comboBox. I also have a button that clears the markers:

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 = [];

Does anyone know if it's at all possible to embedd a google maps image that's created using code generated by google? The Image is interactive, the main reason to embedd in flash as apposed to a flat image.

I am using the google maps API with regular key (not premier).When connecting to my server with http, everything works fine, but when connecting with https i receive the following instead of map: initialization failed please check the API key swf location, version and network availability.Is that because it is not premier key? can I force the google maps API to use http instead of https so that I will receive the maps?

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.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write a test page which a customer can send us to identify whether they can use various parts of our site.

View 2 RepliesI have a simple Map and geocoding sample in Flash using CS4.The problem is simple - I can retrieve a short list from the google search api, but when I try to generate the icons on the map using a loop, only the last icon is displayed. (ignore the house icon, it is generated earlier)
I feel I am missing something or made a stupid AS3 mistake (like treating it as if it was c#) - or even a stupid wood-for-the-trees mistake. The problem is in the last line of the code

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,
View 1 RepliesI am creating a project in Flash using the Google Maps API and docs. I'm trying to add a marker to the map, which is draggable but I don't want it to look like the standard Google Maps bubble-style marker. Is it possible to have a custom polygon or image but still keep the draggability?
View 2 RepliesI created a map with the Google Map API For Flash that shows directions. It creates a line between the 2 addresses and gives turnbyturn directions.
This is working perfectly in Flash test mode locally but once i put it online The map still works but the directions dont show and i get the Failure status 400.
Does anywone know whats the problem here? I'ts driving me crazy just because its working locally but not online.
DirectionsEvent.DIRECTIONS_FAILURE.feature.status = 400
I have a site fully designed using as3 classes. My design is based on a liquid layout. All the assets and elements dinamically generated are inside a container. When the browser resizes, the container relocates itself in a determinate position. I put the google API inside a Sprite as a holder. This holder is generated dinamically. When the API is visible and the browser resizes, all the content moves away.
If the zoom value of the setCenter method is 1, the map center itself on the browser, avoiding any method. If the value is higher, the content goes away according to the zoom value. Exist any conflict between this api and the resize stage event? How is possible to avoid the api takes control over the movie?
Is it possible to get google maps into flash without using a browser, so in the stand alone player.
Here is an example [URL] but I think it uses code that in the browser as well, so this wouldn't run in a stand alone player?
I want to make a *.SWF in which the user inserts an address in the first frame, then in the second frame Google Maps shows that place. The problem is that I don't know how to zoom on a point without LatLng parameter. Probably, Geocoding would be the solution, but as I said earlier, I don't understand how it works in Flash. Could someone please either post a few lines or direct me to an example of geocoding in Flash?
