Hi Pam,
Is there some shortcut to attach a menu (as opposed to a right-click
driven context menu) on a marker? For example, I'd like to show users
several options when they click on a marker, selecting one of which
would open the infowindow. I have reasons to do it on a click and not
a right-click. As of now, since the menu cannot be attached directly
to a marker, I have this following work-around:
marker.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK,
function(e:MapMouseEvent):void {
currentMarker = e.target as Marker; // currentMarker declared
above
as "var currentMarker:Marker;"
var pnt:Point =
map.fromLatLngToViewport(currentMarker.getLatLng());
showMenu(currentMarker, pnt.x + 20, pnt.y + 10);
});
where showMenu is defined as:
private function showMenu(whichMarker:Marker, x:Number,
y:Number):void{
var menu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, MenuData, false);
menu.labelField = "@label";
menu.addEventListener(MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK, handleMenuItemClick);
menu.show(x,y);
}
(MenuData is my own XML)
and
private function handleMenuItemClick(event:MenuEvent):void
{
if (event.label.toLowerCase() == "show more info")
{
var myHTML:String = "abcd" + "\nabcd" + "\nabcd" + "\nabcd" +
"\nabcd" + "\nabcd" + "\nabcd" +
"\nabcd" + "\nabcd" + "\nabcd" + "\nabcd" ;
var infoWindowOptions:InfoWindowOptions = new
InfoWindowOptions({content:myHTML});
var height:Number = Number(infoWindowOptions.height);
currentMarker.openInfoWindow(infoWindowOptions);
}
}
Note that I'm having to use a "global" variable called currentMarker
since I could only attach a map's container to the menu, and not the
marker itself. If the marker itself could be attached to the menu,
then MenuEvent could give me the marker in event.target.
I hope I have expressed myself clearly. If not :-(, please reply and
I'll clarify further.
