Google has APIs - Javascript - to put its maps in any web site . vied how to accomplish the same thing with Flash!
We start from a free component, UMAP (Universal ActionScript 3.0 Mapping API - Integrated with Google Maps), developed by AFComponents , a vertically organized companies of components for Flash / Flex really interesting and affordable. On the site, where you need to register to take advantage of free downloads, there are also versions of UMAP for ActionScript 2.0: MAP G Ver.2.6.1 . In this case we will analyze the version 0.4 Beta UMAP for ActionScript 3.0 (inside the package there is also a Flex component). That we're going to see is - obviously - a beta version and lacks, therefore, some features in version for Actionscript 2.0 ( G Ver.2.6.1 MAP ). However, watchman at the future, it seems more interesting to focus attention on this release, I tried both and, despite the release of more complete for Actionscript 2.0, Actionscript 3.0 beta version is considerably more powerful.
Among its features are:
- Support for custom map tiles and providers
- Updated loading algorithms for faster tile loading
- Flash / Flex versions
- KML Support
- Advanced content layering
- FLA-Based Map Controls
- Vector shape overlays
- Extended Info Window styling
Once installed the component using Adobe Extension Manager UMAP will find four new components that are all part of UMAP. The controls used in Google Maps, such as zoom (zoom control), the choice of the type of map (Map Type Control) and the cursor moves to (Position Control), is realized here as components / elements. The main component is, of course, UMAP. To this can add all the other if we wish. To do so, however, write a few lines of code ...
Click here for documentation : Ensure that the documentation contains some mistakes and tutorials are missing!
We see a prime example. Open a new Flash movie and drag the component and the component UMAP Zoom Control. . Let's name these instances, respectively umap and zoom .

| Components on the Stage | Test Movie |
It is not necessary to place the component zoom control over the component UMAP. When you test the movie it will be positioned automatically zoom to the left of the main component. The Actionscript code to be used to "add" zoom component is as follows:
1 | zoom ) ; UMAP. AddControl (zoom); |
The same can be done if we are to complete the view as is normally shown on Google Maps.

| Components on the Stage | Test Movie |
Even in this case name the instances of the other two components and write the following code:
1 2 3 | zoom ) ; UMAP. AddControl (zoom); maptype ) ; UMAP. AddControl (maptype); mapposition ) ; UMAP. AddControl (mapposition); |
Who is not practical in Actionscript must be careful to some error of "beating" in the documentation - as I mentioned above. After a product is free in beta!
For aprere a window (Window) customized, for example, the correct code is:

Of course you can use the component UMAP, and others, directly from code, without that drag the window component on the Stage. It is also possible to add the marker (or Balloon) to indicate locations on the map.

We'll come back soon to this component, also waiting for other releases - since it's a beta!
