I've also implemented editable polylines in flash for a project. The advantage is that points snap to roads automatically. Lines between the points are following the roads as well, which is very useful in many cases. It is also possible to insert an unlimited number of intermediate waypoints.

You can view the output of the editor right on www.vidmap.de or sign in to try it yourself. -Mario On Jul 27, 11:34 pm, Fred <[email protected]> wrote: > I've had a chance to put a simple editable polyline example together, > which can be viewed here: > > http://emu.appspot.com/code/editablePolylines/EditablePolylines.html > > Right-click to view source. > > Fred. > > On Jul 27, 10:42 am, Fred <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks for the tips - I'll take a look the cloud/sparkles demo as a > > start, and let you know how I get on. > > > Fred. > > > On Jul 27, 9:40 am, "pamela (Google Employee)" <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > Good point, Jugang. > > > > In the cloud/sparkles trail demo, the cloudy trail is very similar to > > > a polyline - it's a line drawn with increasing thickness and then > > > blurred after.
