Hi Jesse,
Well, it could be one of two things.
1) You're no longer defaulting the value of "apiKey" in the
constructor.
or
2) You (definitely) need to add the map to the clip before it will
fire the "Ready" event.
Here's an example:
package lib{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Point;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
public class GoogleMap extends MovieClip {
private var map:Map;
private const API_KEY:String = "default key goes here";
public static const EVENT_GOOGLEMAP_READY:String =
"EventGoogleMapReady";
public function GoogleMap(apiKey:Sting = null) {
map = new Map();
map.key = apiKey != null ? apiKey : API_KEY;
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
addChild(map);
}
private function onMapReady(event:MapEvent):void {
trace('map loaded');
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth,
stage.stageHeight));
map.setCenter(new LatLng(40.736072, -73.992062), 14,
MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
dispatchEvent(new Event(GoogleMap.EVENT_GOOGLEMAP_READY));
}
}
}
In this example, I added "dispatchEvent" to tell the calling MovieClip
the map is indeed loaded... then you can continue doing other things.
I also like to keep class info contained. Typically, stuff like the
API Key doesn't change (or at least, it shouldn't), but based on your
code, it will accept a key value, and if exists, will use that. If
not, then it will use the default key constant provided above.
Hope this helps out.
