Google Maps API – Custom markers problem

Domenico Citrangulo — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:09:27 +0000

The Documentation of Google Maps Flash API is very good and a good start point. But has a little lack: no code examples for custom Marks. If you want one you’l find just Flex examples. Here’s the sample code for custom Marks in Flex:

//Image Embed
[Embed(source="myimage.png")]
private var myimage:Class;

// Create the marker
var myname = "Tooltip name";
var bm:Bitmap = new myimage() as Bitmap;
var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(list[i].lat, list[i].lon),
new MarkerOptions({tooltip:myname, icon:bm}));

This works well for Flex applications but not in Flash. If you try to use this code in Flash you will get an error like this:

TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
        at MethodInfo-1735()
        at MethodInfo-1736()
        at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
        at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
        at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

I made several searches in Google and tried quite a few of codes solutions and none of them works: in some cases I got new errors, in others I didn’t get errors but the marker didn’t appear. After some studying I made it with this code:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("red.png");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(request);

var markerOptions:MarkerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.icon = imageLoader;
markerOptions.tooltip = "dom";
var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(-23.6104, -46.6670), markerOptions);
map.addOverlay(m);

Got it? You just need to create a loader for your image and then use a URLRequest object to get the file. It’s so obvious now, but I spent a good time on this. I hope you don’t.

Words & Images – A Dynamic XML Image Gallery

Domenico Citrangulo — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:35:59 +0000

If you want to show your images and movies in a different and creative way, here is a good solution for you. Words & Images is a project of mine that allows you to create a flash gallery very easily and fast. You just need to change a XML file with your images paths (URL), titles and subtitles and you’re all set!
After setting the XML file the movie clip generates an animated 3D space where you can interact with each word (images titles). When clicked, a word brings an image and customized text to the user.

All the data (words, images, colors, subtitles, sizes) are completely dynamic and XML driven. So you can update, add or delete words and texts editing only one XML file.

Control everything with the XML file!
• words animation speed
• background color
• [optional] background image
• words color
• subtitle text color
• subtitle background color
• subtitle background opacity
• subtitle links color
• close button color
• subtitle lines margin (leading)
• subtitle font size
• subtitle bar height
• movie width
• movie height

Works with JPG , PNG, GIF images or SWF files.
You can also add links in images subtitles!

And more!!

Source File: Fully editable Flash source in Flash 8.0 with AS2 . The button design and font can be changed easily through library symbols.
