Pamela, I've been getting the same error while using ver 1.7 of the API, but not with 1.6 or below. Regarding your suggestions, a. calling setSize before addChild - not sure how to do it, as the parameters that I'd be passing to setSize depend upon the size of the parent container (I'm adding a map inside a UIComponent in my own ActionScript class, and so setSize is usually called in updateDisplayList of my class). b. Since I'm using ver 1.7 of the API, I'm using the MAP_PREINITIALIZE event along with MapOptions to set center, etc.(as per http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/basics.html#MapOptions). c. What exactly do you mean by the last suggestion? (use the non-Flex version????)
