Richard_Abbott Mar 26, 2009 5:24 AM (in response to rahimhaji)Syed Abdul Rahim,
the API key is one you get from Google when you register as a developer with them. I went through that process a while ago but other things intruded and I never got around to following it through. Unless you have got that key (the one that starts ABQI in your code) yourself, then my guess is that the sample code contains a dummy key that does not in fact function at runtime.

And add this library to your project (put it to lib folder).
At Google site it's written a special resume "How to start?". I think it's usefull. -

7. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash
_Natasha_ Mar 26, 2009 10:16 AM (in response to rahimhaji)Do you create AIR Application project or Web application? (type of the Flex project)
Also check if you add only map_flex_1_9.swc to project. -

9. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash
_Natasha_ Mar 27, 2009 10:51 AM (in response to rahimhaji)There are some differences if you create AIR Application. And there is a special part on google maps site.
For AIR Application Map must have attribute url and it must be the some as that your registered when signing up for an API key.
If you create key for site www.my-perfect-site.com you shold write
<maps:Map xmlns:maps="com.google.maps.*" id="map" mapevent_mapready="onMapReady(event)" width="100%" height="100%"
url=" http://www.my-perfect-site.com" key="your_api_key"/>

11. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash
_Natasha_ Mar 28, 2009 11:41 AM (in response to rahimhaji)For your site you need swf file. For creating you should create "Web application" project in FB with the same source, as your AIR Application except uri attribute for Map.
Also project create a html file for site (in bin folder), so you can use it as example to embed this swf to your site. -
12. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash

13. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash
_Natasha_ Mar 28, 2009 1:07 PM (in response to rahimhaji)You can add all controls as you can see on Google map.
// zoom control
import com.google.maps.controls.ZoomControl;
private function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
...
map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
}
The same code may be for ScaleControl, OverviewMapControl, MapTypeControl, PositionControl. -

17. Re: Google map in Flex or Flash
_Natasha_ Mar 29, 2009 8:58 AM (in response to rahimhaji)There are many examples for this on Google site
Procedure of finding places by geolocations is called Geocoding. Example here
Also you can put point on map without info - Markers. There are many examples at the first page I mentioned. -
