Without a doubt, the Flash API provides access to many capabilities and is sufficient for many projects. This is not the same as saying that the Flash API can replace the ECMAScript API. Just looking at the open issues in the Issue Tracker, it is undeniable that a feature gap exists. Here are six of the many open issues which I believe best illustrate this point. * Traffic overlay (345) * Editable polylines / polygons (379) * Street view (524) * AdsManager support (518) * Printing support (545) * GeoXML (323 [1]) I surmise that features will continue to be added to the ECMAScript libraries first and then selectively rolled out to other APIs. Please do not take this comment as devaluing the work of the Flash team. The team just delivered a MAJOR upgrade in functionality which should be picked up by many enthusiastic developers. I regret that I am unable to join them with the 1.8 release, but perhaps in 1.9 or 1.10 or... I would PREFER to use the Flash API within AIR projects. My observations and implied criticisms are driven by a mix of admiration and frustration. Google Maps continues to amaze me, but it would be better if only <insert_issues_here> were <select:fixed/ implemented/documented>. I think we each have our lists. As for <mx:HTML>, there is no issue if the tag is pointed at an external server. It can also be used to access local content shipped within the AIR application. Here the situation is less clear. [1] For this one, I believe there is a reasonable solution <http:// groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api-for-flash/browse_thread/thread/ 81d8d4580e1cf267#> though I have not tested it (yet). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API For Flash" group.
