Using Google Maps API for Flash

January 30th, 2009

Hi for all again, well today i ll say something about the Google API for Flash Platform with Actionscript 3. I was looking for Google Maps class and in Lost in Actionscript have some classes for Google, Yahoo and Microsoft maps to make it but was in Google Maps API that i found a most simple way to create one Map into Flash using Actionscript 3. Simple like bellow:

import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
 
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAP_KEY";
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
addChild(map);
 
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
  map.setCenter(new LatLng(-16.69395,-49.309988), 17, MapType.SATELLITE_MAP_TYPE);
}

You need create your App Key to use into your code:

map.key = "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAP_KEY";

Create your Key: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html and see the simple sample:
