Hi Pamela and thank you for your response!
Unfortunately it did not work though. As i mentioned i am developing
in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and i have imported my custom marker
in the library so i supposed it already was embeded in my swf. Anyway
since you told me i had to embed it and after going through the code
you suggested i added
[Embed(source="/arrow.png")] var customMarker:Class;
var customIcons:Object =
{"myMarker": customMarker};
And then assign
icon : customIcons["myMarker"]
in MarkerOptions, but the API "ignore" the custom icon and instead
show the default marker. I do not get any errors though, just the
default marker instead of the one i want!
Thank you for your time,
Antonis
