Hi Saxon,
the Flex API Map component differs from the one supplied by Flash API,
and what you have seen is the main difference :) You do not normally
addChild() an component onto Flex stage, but you can do so for example
extending a Flex component, like this:
[canvasWithGoogleMap.mxml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
width="100%" height="100%"
creationComplete="init()"
>
<mx:Script>
....
protected function init():void
{
mapa = new Map;
mapa.key = Mapa.key;
mapa.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY,
onMapReady);
mapa.setSize(new Point(200,200));
addChild(mapa);
}
</mx:Script>
</mx:Canvas>
cheers
