Just to be sure no one else makes the same "mistake" as we did: To make your SWF file - that is using the Google Maps functionality - work when it is hosted on an https-server, you don't need "SSL support for the Flash API". "SSL support for the Flash API" really means that you want the outgoing calls to the Google Maps server over https.
Our story: We have written code in Flex and ActionScript that uses the Google Maps functionality and results in a SWF file. When we hosted that SWF on an http server all worked well. But when we hosted that same SWF file on an https server, whenever we wanted to visualize a map we got an error. That error basically told us that "the parent http://maps.googleapis.com/... could not access our SWF file (@ https://ourdomain) So apparantly Google Maps (@ http://) tries to access our SWF file (@ https://) After quite some frustrating hours of trial and error we managed to solve the issue by adding an extra security call in our action script code: Security.allowInsecureDomain("maps.googleapis.com"); By adding this, you allow "unsecure" (http) access coming from maps.googleapis.com to your swf file. To avoid people having that to discover that again and again theirselves I suggested that this knowledge be added to the online Google Maps docs. Thor Mitchell of Google Maps API Premier Support mailed me to say that he will work with their doc writers to get this added to their docs or FAQs. Hopefully this is useful information for homer or everyone stumbling upon this thread. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API For Flash" group.
