Yeah the POI marker click event is fine and quite useful. I think it was
after reading your post Anupam. :-) However after that, I can't trigger
anything in the Cairngorm app. I even tried to make a function with the
original as2map.fla that would simply trigger a new POIMarkerClick event
with data passed from the asfunction call within the marker. That hasn't
worked yet either.
I also tried to use FlashInterface which, by itself, should work.
However it blocks the communication of the YahooMap communication kit as is.
Basically, similar to Anupam's change to the code, I'd like to add an
htmlTextClick function which can be can be called via asfunction.
Something like:
function onHTMLLinkClick(ev:Object) {
var rtnObj:String = new String();
EIBuffer.addCall({method:swfDomId + ".onHTMLLinkClick" + id,
data:rtnObj});
}
and where it sets up listeners in the mapClip object
myMap.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', onHTMLLinkClick);
and then in the description of a POI Marker have
description:"<a href=\'asfunction:onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'>Click
me...</a>"
or would this have to be:
description:"<a
href=\'asfunction:_parent.onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'>Click me...</a>"
and in the Flex project
mapEventDispather.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', htmlLinkClickHandler);
So the link would trigger the new event which would call the function in
the loaded as2map.swf which would then trigger the new event which would
be picked up by Flex, etc.
So is this possible? Since this function isn't in the original API, is
it possible to add it this way? It looks like the .addCall would add it
to the methodQueue array in the ExternalInterfaceBuffer.as file. Here's
to hoping...
And Benoit, thanks for the tip about adding the setMapSize snippet in
the MapController.as. It sized fine when first loading but that could be
VERY useful when dynamically resizing.
Thank you to you both. I'll give these a shot and see if there is any
progress with it.

Are you sure you can catch events generated by an href link in the

I think we've tried to play around with the POIMarkerClick event.
But it was only dispatched when you first click on the marker to open it.
Further click on a link in the htmlText description was not generating
any POIMarkerClick events, so we could not catch anything.
But may be, we did something wrong, we have to check it out again...

asfunction
Hi michael,
I have done this and its pretty easy,
You can call any flex event on the click of the marker click
there is one event called onPOIMarkerClick in the Yahoo map component.
You should have the latest code because this event handler was not
there in the previous versions.
I have written a blog entry on this...
Check it out..
