I happen to get the same message while adding a Map on runtime, to a Panel custom component. The latter is included in an MXML Application.
Adding a maps:Map component works fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Pablo Apanasionek <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:controls="controls.*" borderThicknessTop="0" borderThicknessLeft="0" borderThicknessRight="0" borderThicknessBottom="0" xmlns:maps="maps.*"> <mx:UIComponent id="map" width="100%" height="100%" /> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import com.google.maps.Map; private var mapImpl:Map; public function setMapControl():void { mapImpl = new Map(); mapImpl.key = MY_KEY; map.addChild(mapImpl); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Panel> On Oct 24, 1:31 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The solution is to create a UIComponent container for the map.
