I am trying to create some applications where users can add markers to a map and then store the latitude and longitude of the marker in a database. I am using the saveData function from the "From Infowindow to Database" example but I run into a problem with the first two lines of the saveData function. I get an error stating that "marker" is an undefined property. I create the marker in the onMapClick function, how can I access the lat/lng values of the marker in the saveData function? Should the function creating the marker return a value instead of void? The saveData function is adding values from the comboBox and the description field to the Mysql database. I am very new to Actionscript and would appreciate a newbie type answer.
Thanks, Dan Link to app with view source enabled. I had to comment out the problem code in the saveData function and add code in the saveData function declaring lat and lng as variables in order to export the swf. http://www.wisswork.com/carbreak2.html Code is below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
