Re: [Flashcoders] Question about Google Maps Flash APIs

[Sidney de Koning]

I know it is a pain, i did the same for the new Yahoo maps API.
It takes a while, but at least you can use it in Flash

And check out this http://www.afcomponents.com/components/g_map/
But i didnt see what AS version it utilizes.

Good luck,

Sid

Its a monumental pain in the ass to load it and extract the classes out... I hope Google just releases the classes for non-Flex stuff... but maybe they

have all kinds of hidden crap in there they don't want people to see?

Or if you have the SWC downloadable you can just copy the file near the FLA

file, flash will load it automatically.

YUP :)

An swc file is notthing more than a zip file. So when you rename it to

zip you can extract it, probably there is a library.swf in there.
This is what you do is this you load it in in Flash like this:

import flash.display.Loader;
//
var ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass:Class;
// Create these for everyclass you want to extract.
//
function loadAssets():void
{
var assetLoader:Loader = new Loader();
assetLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
assetLoaderComplete);
assetLoader.load(new URLRequest("library.swf"));
}

When the library.swf is done loading it calls the assetLoaderComplete
handler that handles the
request and utilizes the getDefinition() method to get the class
definition by a string.

function assetLoaderComplete(evt:Event):void
{
// remove your listener
evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, assetLoaderComplete);
var appDomain:ApplicationDomain = evt.target.applicationDomain;

ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass =
appDomain.getDefinition("com.google.maps.api.Whatever") as Class;
}

Now can create and instance of the MyOwnButton, simply by calling:

var myNewObject:Class = new ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass();

Or call functions on the  ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass.

Hope this is what you mean.

Cheers,

Sidney

They offer up a SWC, any way of using that in the Flash IDE without
using
FlexBuilder?
