Here is some code that uses an overlay to put a nice transparency
behind the google and copyright notices etc
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.PaneId;
import com.google.maps.interfaces.IMap;
import com.google.maps.interfaces.IPane;
import com.google.maps.overlays.OverlayBase;
import flash.display.Shape;
/**
* Adds an overlay that puts a nice transparent background behind the
google/copyright notices
* put it on the map like so:
* var copy:CopyrightOverlay = new CopyrightOverlay();
* map.addOverlay(copy);
* */
public class CopyrightOverlay extends OverlayBase
{
private var overlay:Shape;
private var bgColor:uint = 0xffffff;
private var overlayHeight:uint = 50;
private var overlayAlpha:Number = 0.7;
public function CopyrightOverlay()
{
this.overlay = new Shape();
this.overlay.alpha = overlayAlpha;
super();
}
override public function getDefaultPane(map:IMap):IPane
{
return map.getPaneManager().getPaneById
(PaneId.PANE_OVERLAYS);
}
override public function positionOverlay(zoom:Boolean):void
{
trace('copyright positionOverlay');
overlay.graphics.clear();
overlay.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
overlay.graphics.drawRect(0,(pane.map as Map).height -
overlayHeight,(pane.map as Map).width, overlayHeight);
overlay.graphics.endFill();
addChild(overlay);
}
}
