Hi there
Thank you so much for the reply :)
Thank you for the answer and yes it does work as I got that running just
before you replied lol but now my second problem is that each block should
retrieve diffident information... I can use an if statement to cycle trough
my database based on the block but I need to know which block I clicked. So
I need to be able to identify the block.
Now I have created an array to store and label each block but doesnt help as
I dont know how to get each block's unique instance name. Any idea on this?
code is as follows
private var gridBlocks:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
private var blockIndex:Number;
private var topLeftLat:Number;
private var topLeftLong:Number;
private var bottomLeftLat:Number;
private var bottomLeftLong:Number;
private var bottomRightLat:Number;
private var bottomRightLong:Number;
private var topRightLat:Number;
private var topRightLong:Number;
public function createGrid():void
{
for(var i:int = 0; i < 23; i++)
{
blockIndex = i;
var label:String = 'Block ' + gridBlocks.length;
topLeftLat = Niger5.getItemAt(i).LeftTopLat;
topLeftLong = Niger5.getItemAt(i).LeftTopLong;
bottomLeftLat = Niger5.getItemAt(i).LeftBottomLat;
bottomLeftLong = Niger5.getItemAt(i).LeftBottomLong;
bottomRightLat = Niger5.getItemAt(i).RightBottomLat;
bottomRightLong = Niger5.getItemAt(i).RightBottomLong;
topRightLat = Niger5.getItemAt(i).RightTopLat;
topRightLong = Niger5.getItemAt(i).RightTopLong;
gridBlocks.addItem({label: label,gridBlock: gridBlock});
var gridBlock:Polygon = new Polygon([
new LatLng(topLeftLat, topLeftLong),
new LatLng(bottomLeftLat, bottomLeftLong),
new LatLng(bottomRightLat, bottomRightLong),
new LatLng(topRightLat, topRightLong)
],
new PolygonOptions({
strokeStyle: new StrokeStyle({
color: 0x00FFFF,
thickness: 1,
alpha: 1}),
fillStyle: new FillStyle({
color: 0x666666,
alpha: 0.7})
}));
map.addOverlay(gridBlock);
gridBlock.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:Event):void
{
check1.text = "Yes";
});
}
}
