I am replying to the entry relevant to my issue, not the most current
entry.
I hope this is not bad form.
I tried the call "Security.allowInsecureDomain
("maps.googleapis.com")
It did not solve our problem.
We get a 404 Not Found error when .swf file read is attempted.
This may be caused by other issues, but it generated some questions.
1) should this Security call work for the free API or just Premier?
2) if it only applies to the Premier API, can you get trial Keys for
that too?
We are still determining what role maps will have in our application,
and which map technology is the best fit for us.
We are not yet ready to spend the $10k minimum for Premier, but may be
in the future.
We are still very much in development and test mode.
Thanks,
