Hi John,

Thanks for the tutorials.

I'm wanting my map to be a bit more like a static map but want to be able to control and change the map type.

I have disabled the control bar //gomap.addControl(myNavPos); and also the zoom //gomap.enableScrollWheelZoom(­); but need to disable the pan.

Can you pleae help me out and tell me what the code should be and also where to put in?

Thanks, Craig

@Panoviz ,

Thanks.

You would disable the scroll as you mentioned as well as this section: // or position the navigation control to coordinates. //var nav_position:ControlPosition = new ControlPosition(ControlPositio­n.ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT, -60,40); //var myNavPos:NavigationControl = new NavigationControl(); //myNavPos.setControlPosition(­nav_position); //gomap.addControl(myNavPos);

Click/drag can be defeated by a transparent movieclip on a layer or frame above.

Hope this helps.

-John

Pls help. how can i close the map when exiting a frame in my adobe flash CS5 project?

[tunevision]

@ArnoldSwacheneger

You need to nest it in a movieclip.

Make a movieclip on the frame. Put the map code inside the movieclip.

Now when you navigate away from that frame the map will not be visible.

hi again, i try to add some maps in with differnet latling different frame. but it says duplicate. what should i add in the script. thanx

[tunevision]

@TheJulwow Give every variable and function on the other frame a unique name like : var gomapB:Map = new Map() gomapB.key = "your api key"; gomapB.setSize(new Point(500,500)) gomapB.x = 390 gomapB.y = 80 gomapB.addEventListener(MapEve­nt.MAP_READY, onMapReadyB); this.addChild(gomapB); function onMapReadyB(e:Event):void { ...........and so on... More people can answer your questions faster on the forum at DevelopPHP! Thanks Julwow.

Really helpful thanks dude.

John, after inserting the api into my flash file, when I run it, the map window remains on my other screens when I click to bring up other pages. The Google Map window appears over anything else. How can I make the map hidden after I click out of it?

Thanks

Tom

@tunevision:is this correct john?

var view_position:ControlPosition = new ControlPosition(ControlPositio­n.ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT, 110,

var myViewPos:MapTypeControl = new MapTypeControl();

myViewPos.setControlPosition(v­iew_position);

gomap.addControl(myViewPos);

*error:1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before var.
