this is what it looks like:
http://cybermountainwebservices.com/as3MapOverAs2/
this is how I made it:
I created a simple AS2 swf
then I created a as3 swf with this code
the main time line has a single actions layer nothing else with this code
*// this to load the as2 swf
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var objToLoad:URLRequest = new URLRequest("AS2.swf");
loader.load(objToLoad);
loader.x = 0;
loader.y = 0;
this.addChildAt(loader, 0);
//this to load the MovieClip that contains the GoogleMapsLibrary component
var map:MapMC = new MapMC();
addChild(map);
map.x = 200;
map.y = 200;*
before I wrote that code I dragged the *GoogleMapsLibrary component* on to
the stage and converted to a
MovieClip with the registration point in the center
the MovieClip also only has a actions layer and it contains this code.
*import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.controls.ZoomControl;
import com.google.maps.controls.MapTypeControl;
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key =
"ABQIAAAAREqiX-rchDAf5rxchuz6dBRWe2mVX0hDrmSB-WmloJC2Gq5woRTC7qP0U2HFXQ2VGQr29bhHJOlY-Q";
map.setSize(new Point(500, 300));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
map.x = 0;
map.y = 0;
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void
{
map.setCenter(new LatLng(40.736072,-73.992062), 14,
MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
}
