To add custom controls to the map I never extended the ControlBase class. I just added UIComponents on top of the Map object in the display stack. Recently I decided to change these control components so they would extend from ControlBase so they would act as a genuine Map Control object. In doing so I noticed that none of my controls showed up on the map. I looked at the custom control example http://gmaps-samples-flash.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/ControlCustom.html But that showed me that a button was manually created using Sprite and Shape objects. It does not use mx,control.Button objects. Then I found this old issue, http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=429 But this issue was already fixed. Although the last comment confuses me. It says "allows you to use Flex components anywhere (controls, info windows)". It does not say that it is indeed possible to use mx.control.* components in custom classes extending from ControlBase. The title does suggest that it now possible to use mx.control.* components in custom classes extending from ControlBase class. I tried several ways but buttons, labels and other UIComponent objects do not show up when the custom control is added to the Map. I cannot find any more documentation about custom controls except issue 429 and the example using Sprite and Shape objects. So the question is, can UIComponents like a Button indeed be used as a children of a custom control implied by issue 429 Thank you.
