It seems that different overlay types behave differently in terms of firing events. I would guess that one of these is a bug but even after reading the documentation I am a little unclear as to which one is correct.
My case: - I add a marker and a polyline to a map. Each overlay is listening for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN events. Note that the marker is draggable to overcome a previously noted issue ( http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1156). In addition, the map itself is listening for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN events. - I click on the marker and then on the polyline. The results... For the marker, one MOUSE_UP and one MOUSE_DOWN event is generated with the feature/target set to the Marker For the polyline, two MOUSE_UP and two MOUSE_DOWN events are generated. One pair has the feature/target set to the polyline and one pair has the feature/target set to the map itself. I can't imagine that this by design. I believe that I can work around the issue but I would rather work around it by coding for the correct behaviour so that it will work properly in the future if the issue is resolved. Also, I would be happy to add this as a bug but I wasn't sure which one to reference. The example code below demonstrates the issue. private function onMapReady(event:Event):void { map.setCenter(new LatLng(48.858842, 2.346997), 14, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE); var pnts:Array = new Array( new LatLng(48.858842, 2.346997), new LatLng(48.958842, 2.646997)); var polylineA:Polyline = new Polyline(pnts); polylineA.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMapMouseDown); polylineA.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMapMouseUp); map.addOverlay(polylineA); var markerA:Marker = new Marker( new LatLng(48.858842, 2.346997), new MarkerOptions ( { draggable: true } )); markerA.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMapMouseDown); markerA.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMapMouseUp); map.addOverlay(markerA); map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMapMouseDown); map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMapMouseUp); } private function onMapMouseDown(event:MapMouseEvent):void { trace("MapMouseDown:" + event.feature + ", " + event.target); } private function onMapMouseUp(event:MapMouseEvent):void { trace("MapMouseUp:" + event.feature + ", " + event.target); } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API For Flash" group.
