Thanks, mate! You could put in their coordinates if you have them... but to get their location, you would have to trace the IP address and then code it so that it converted that variable to coordinates. It could be done, but this tutorial doesn't address that.

Hey John, I've added a google map to a Flash site I'm creating by following your excellent tutorial. I need to take it a bit further now with "Get Directions" funtionality. Any chance of some pointers towards that?

Thanks in advance for any help :D

nusphere,

Thanks for the praise! It's gratifying to know that the tutorial is useful.

I stopped shy of the directions aspect and hope to address it later. For now, I recommend you look at:

code.google(dot)com/apis/maps/­documentation/flash/demogaller­y.html

Type directions in the keyword search. You'll see examples. Some use XML or Java in addition to AS3. You may be able to manipulate these scripts in Dreamweaver or write your own to meet your needs. I hope this helps.

I tried to respond here on YouTube earlier. I learned that web addresses may not be posted.

To make the address above work, change the (dot) to . and remove the spaces between

maps/ documentation and demogaller y.
