Thanks for adding the extended data. It works beautifully now. I
initially had some confusion as to which values (N, E, S, W) were the
lat and which values were the lon, but once I figured it out things
fell into place. To save others some time here is what the code would
look like.
private function doGeocode(event:Event):void {
// Geocoding example
var geocoder:ClientGeocoder = new ClientGeocoder("AU");
geocoder.addEventListener(
GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_SUCCESS,
function(event:GeocodingEvent):void {
output.text = ObjectUtil.toString(event.response);
var placemarks:Array = event.response.placemarks;
if (placemarks.length > 0) {
var placemark:Object = placemarks[0];
var viewport:LatLngBounds = new LatLngBounds(
new LatLng(placemarks[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.south,
placemarks
[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.west),
new LatLng(placemarks[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.north,
placemarks
[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.east));
map.setCenter(placemark.point, map.getBoundsZoomLevel
(viewport));
createMarker(placemark.point);
}
});
geocoder.addEventListener(
GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_FAILURE,
function(event:GeocodingEvent):void {
Alert.show("Geocoding failed");
});
geocoder.geocode(address.text);
}
