Hi Duncan,
Thanks for the heads up had a look around and am still stuck do you
have any example code or could you point me in the right direction?
this is the part of the code that references the mc and the
definitions(sorry for the original large code block):
// custom icons
var house_icon:house_mc = new house_mc();// <--mc in my library
var bungalow_icon:bungalow_mc = new bungalow_mc();// <--mc in my
library
// set custom icons from movie clips in library
var customIcons:Object = {
"House": house_icon,
"Bungalow": bungalow_icon
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// reference part to mc in code
new MarkerOptions({
icon: customIcons[type],
Sorry to bother you and thanks for your help already.
