Re: [Laszlo-dev] I got Google map component working in swf9

[Antun Karlovac]

Hey Henry,

That's awesome; I've done a quick test and it works fine in 4.2b3. I'll 
write up some instructions and post them soon.

Thanks for the help!

Here's an example of the Google map component running in a LZX <window>

There is a Google discussion group regarding a non-flex Flash map component at

http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api-for-flash

They have a library which seems to have remove the dependencies on the
Flex mx.* framework.

You just need to  download the library map_flash_1_6.swc from
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api-for-flash/files
and copy that to WEB-INF/flexlib

then the following code compiles and runs in swf9 runtime and displays
the map component.
