Flash 10 API for Google Earth

Is anybody developing a Flash 10 API for Google Earth? I
believe there is one for Google Maps.
Thanks.
Jordan

Thanks for that, interesting.
However, that video is a few months older than the discontinuation announcement.
The way JavaScript is going, I'm pretty sure they will have no problems getting it as good as the Flash one was.
Plus, at the time of the video, comparisons were possible. Now, there's only JavaScript basically. Sure you can still get the Flash API, but how long until new features are implemented which will only be available in JavaScript?
I guess a compromise is using a web view for devices that support it and use the JS API, but the StageWebView isn't a display object and manipulation of it is more dificult to maintain.

Non numeric keyboard - I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth

I need the shortcut keys for Google Earth - like Page Up, Page Down etc, but the new Apple wireless keyboard hasn't got the numeric keypad.
Are there alternative shortcut keys for Page Up/Down? Or can I programme any of the Function keys to do that instead?

You can create custom shortcuts pretty easily. Here is an article that explains how to do it:

Error message for google earth

I get getting error message when I try to use "Google Earth" The message is 'See file PPC errlog' for all printout messages for this application" How can I fix this?

Ha! I fixed it dammit!
I read dozens of posts all over the web with no fix, so I hope this helps folks.
I downgraded from v.7 to v.6 (which is a little tricky to do). Trash v.7.
Then when get to this webpage: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
Click Customize and choose Previous Version 6.2. Install that.
Then (as others have written) turn off internet access. Open Google Earth. Go into Preferences and turn off "show startup tips" under the General tab. Quit Google Earth. Turn internet back on.
Startup Google Earth v. 6.
Seems to work.
{arrggggg. worked for a minute, then error msg recurred. better than before when it did not work at all, i guess}

Why doesn't update link for Google Earth plugin work?

Using information I found here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925671?as=aaq
I was able to update the plugin.
However, the problem that remains is that the link which Firefox provides in the plugin-up-to-date report does not work! This would appear to be a bug; and, until it is fixed, lots of folks will continue to be confused by this behavior.
(There is also additional confusion attributable to Google, in that, if you visit their Web page for the plugin, it tells you. "Good news, you already have the plugin.", even when you are not running the latest version. That message tells you what version you are running, but it does not mention the current version for comparison.)

In the plugins page it is called Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788. The website for it is [http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html]. I have a custom Webkit browser I made that runs it just fine.

Google Earth Jerky Movement

I have the latest version of Google Earth 6 (6.0.2.2074) and am extremely disappointed at the choppy / jerky movement I am seeing. I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB GPU. My internet speed should be adequate at 8MB.
I have tried downloading earlier versions of Google Earth, 4 and 5 but these have the same issue on my machine. I've tried disabling all of the layers and turning off effects in the Google preferences panel. I've also tried using a smaller window. The jerky / choppy movement is always present.
While Google Earth is very stable and so far has never quit on me - this glitch is very irksome.
Is this 'normal' for Google earth on a MacBook Pro?

The problem is not flash related.
I booted into my XP partition and found the performance to be exactly the same. So, it's either the case that the hardware of my MacBook isn't up to the job - or Google Earth just does not produce smooth flowing graphics.
I may take a trip to the Apple Store and try out Google Earth on some other 'desktop' Macs.

Google Earth plug in is not recognized by Firefox (works in Safari and Chrome)

For some reason Google Earth has stopped working in Firefox, and I get a note that I have to download the plug in. (It works fine in Chrome and Safari.)
I followed the 'solution' in the forum without any success.
When I search for "Google Earth Browser plugin" in Finder, I find SEVEN matching that search under "Kind" in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins . . .but that "Kind" is associated with plugins that are "Named" something else - e.g., Adobe, DivX, Flash, Flip4Mac, etc. (Weird).

I too had this issue, solved by updating Java to 7u25 and reinstalling Google Earth.
1. Search the web using "java se download", select "Java SE Downloads - Oracle" which took me to "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html" I wish to thank the company "Secunia" for directing me the Oracle page.
2. Search the web using "google earth plugin reinstall" to reinstall, which took me to "http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/error.html" where there is a message and a link to the reinstall.
I retraced my steps, going back to the "http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/error.html" and still gives me the "error"; not to worry, look at your plugins and google earth plugin 7.1.1.1871 is up-to-date.

[ISSUE FOUND] Help Request Stabilizing Google Earth 7.1

Good Morning Fellow Archers,
Arch is my main OS, I have a Windows 7 partition for Games (Skyrim).
I am x86_64, running the 32bit libs, NVidia GTX-660 platform, with the "ck" kernel option for my Piledriver CPU with the associated "ck" nvidia modules. The system works very nicely. And I couldn't be happier with Arch as a distribution!
I have started cycling in the last 7 months for health reasons, and in preparation for a disabled veterans Sea to Shining Sea ride in 2014 that I want to participate in (San Fran to Virginia Beach). I use Google Earth (G.E.) to map out various long-distance trails/paths locally to take as training runs with my riding partner.
I use Google Earth in my Windows 7 partition because I cannot get Google Earth 7.1 running stably under Arch. And I openly acknowledge that the "path" section of G.E. is glitchy in and of itself....platform independent. I am OK with that.
Yesterday, I followed some other threads and downloaded from the AUR. I installed the one package I needed, "ld-lsb", installed, and then did the usual "makepkg -s" for Google Earth. What it brought down was the x86_64 version of Google Earth, instead of the i386 version that I was expecting, mentioned on the AUR page.
There was no resultant ".xz" package from which to do a "pacman -U". But the layout was kind obvious where to put things so I manually moved things around as indicated. There was a launcher script that came with the tarball that set environment variables and performed some font stuff before actually launching G.E.
I launched G.E. using the included launching script from a cli, so I could observe what was going wrong. G.E. came right up, and the fonts did not look wierd as in previous releases. There are a lot of repetitive errors showing up in the cli, but G.E. at least runs.....until....You click on a photo or a place, add more than a few "nodes" to a "path". Instant crash, no signal traps, no nothing...it just vanishes into thin air. And it will not launch again until I restart my D.E. and/or "zap" the "X" server. I am assuming this is necessary to clear out some environment variables that are temporary in nature that the launcher script setup, although I do not know this for sure.
I have included the copy-n-paste error trail from the cli at the bottom of this post.
I have also attempted to install the Windows version under Wine to get around the issue, with no luck. The G.E. installer can't seem to find the internet conenction and dies. The wine-gecko app is installed, as I have one other Windows specific reference software package installed under Wine...that uses the network to update itself. It works just fine....telling me that my Wine install is OK.
I see that others using Arch seem to have G.E. running stably......
I am requesting assistance to get my G.E. installation stable as well. I have no idea where to start....
Some assistance please?
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave.

I did one more test......
I rebooted with the stock Arch kernel and stock modules for NVidia......The issue remains. The problem is not specific to the "ck" kernel series and their associated video modules.
One more tidbit...I am running pure systemd.......and 16Gb of ram that memtest86 "blesses". And I am not overclocked in any way. The AMD Piledriver (bulldozer Rev II) doesn't need it at all...and I don't like pushing things anyway. I use the "ck" kernels because I can get them compiled specifically for my CPU and I do notice significant responsiveness gains. A Thank You is in order to graysky for providing these kernels.
Dave.

Google Earth Flight Simulator

Is my system capable of operating the Google Earth flight simulator?
I have the pre-Intel version of the Mac Mini upgraded to 1MB Ram, recently purchased 19" View Sonic monitor with DVI connection.
The Google Earth flight simulator has a slow prop plane and an F-16.
I do not have a joy stick but would get one if my Mac Mini is up to handling the requirements of a flight simulator.

I notice you say you have the 'pre-Intel' Mac mini, which would make your mini a PPC first generation system. I think you mis-stated your memory (RAM) @ 1mb, which should probably say 1gb. If you had 1mb it'd be a massive downgrade and your system most certainly wouldn't run.
That being the case, you'd have the ATI Radeon 9200 32mb built in video card. That card uses it's own discreet video memory, and is actually a bit better than the early Intel GMA950 integrated video.
You thus meet the specs for Google Earth, but it's probably not going to run all that quickly on the system, mainly because of the relatively slow processor. The main snag would be the load time, as it loads slowly even on my Intel mini. I've not tried it on this PPC mini, but it should work - just don't expect crisp video game play type results. The flight simulator in Google Earth is not really meant to be a full video game though, so you may find the performance adequate.

Google Earth won't use QGtkStyle

I'm running 64-bit Arch, and I can't get Google Earth to use QGtkStyle even though other 32-bit programs, e.g. Skype, are correctly themed. I have all the proper 32-bit libraries installed, including lib32-qt and lib32-gtk2. Here is my .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 9"
gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
#gtk-fallback-icon-theme="Tango"
#gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
I also have
export GTK2_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"
in my .bashrc. As I said, all 32-bit qt apps work correctly except Google Earth, which appears without the QGtkStyle theme and with poor font rendering. Anyone have any ideas?

Google Earth displays correctly for me. I followed these instructions for fixing the GTK themes in a QT app...
post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1131537 has the details but the short of it is:
1) run qtconfig in terminal
2) Select GUI Style: GTK+
3) Save changes and exit.
4) Relog in order the changes to take effect.
I hope you get it sorted out.
Thanks for th help. However, those steps do not work for Google Earth, though they seem to work for every other 32-bit qt application.

I found same bug reported recently here: https://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/ … id&id=1826
Any idea? Thanks.

I solved (in part) this issue due to a comment on the page google-earth AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/goog … mments=all
The comment is (unedited):
"Comment by hutou
2015-04-12 20:08
On Arch64, a standard install from AUR succeeded, but GE crashed on startup (error = "unknown graphic card")
I then recompiled the package with _64=1 : GE did launch, but 2 issues remained : no panoramio and search not working.
The first can be solved by installing the packages freeimage and libpng15, and then recompiling the package google-earth with the variables _64 and _attempt_fix set to 1 in the PKGBUILD.
The second issue is related to the decimal separator of some locales (fr for me), and is easily solved by inserting the line
export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
just before the line
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin "$@"
in the file /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
This worked for me : GE works fine, no crashes."
I said that I solved in part because I received only the following error when I run google-earth in terminal (but Google Earth seems to run ok - I didn't do so many tests):
[0610/212239:ERROR:net_util.cc(2195)] Not implemented reached in bool net::HaveOnlyLoopbackAddresses()

[0610/212240:ERROR:nss_ocsp.cc(581)] No URLRequestContext for OCSP handler.
Still looking forward for a solution without errors.

Leopard can't open Google Earth

After upgrading to Leopard, my eMac can't open Google Earth v.4.0. Do I have to add more memory?

John, your configuration should work for Google Earth. However I suggest you download the 4.2.x update and instal it. Both the update and the re-installation may fix your problem.

Google Earth + Retinizer = Happy Macbook Pro-R

Hey guys,
I just installed Google Earth and there's no retina support for the program. Kinda sad because I really like using it.
Anyway, there's this other program called Retinizer that fixed google earth up right away.
http://retinizer.mikelpr.com/
I used it on Microsoft Word before they supported retina displays and I've been pretty pleased with it's fix for Google Earth.
I recommend you guys try it if you guys use Google Earth.
Hope this helps some of you guys.

Excellent app. Congrats!

[SOLVED] google earth strange interface

hello there. I'm actually using the google-earth version: 5.1.3509.4636-2
I got a bar which I cannot remove. How can I solve this?
Last edited by quarkup (2009-12-18 12:57:11)

okay it is solved.
using different theme for google earth than bespin solves the problem.
just add in the Exec entry of the .desktop file the '-style oxygen' flag
the file is located in /usr/share/applications/googleearth.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Google Earth
GenericName=3D planet viewer
Comment=Explore, search and discover the planet
Exec=/usr/bin/googleearth -style oxygen %f
Terminal=false
MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/googleearth-icon.png
Categories=Application;Network
MimeType=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml;application/vnd.google-earth.kmz;application/earthviewer;application/keyhole
or change the google-earth launcher /usr/bin/googleearth
and add the flag. should be something as simple as
#!/bin/sh
GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH="/opt/google-earth"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd "${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}/"
exec "./googleearth-bin" -style oxygen $*

Google Earth or other fun services for Flash C4

I´m wondering if I can integrate Googles API in Flash CS4.
I´ loolking for fun and useful API:s motsly for Sweden like:
- translating
- video upload and mapping
- maps with uploaded local potos.
- Gps position
- Google Earth - not Flash earth (it´s boring)
- ans so on.

yes Google maps can be inserted in flash using Google Api for Flash.
You can find more info on Google
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/

Google Maps API for flash not working on real device iPad

I use flash builder 4.5.1 to build app for Google Maps API for iOS (map_flex_1_20.swc), and it is working well even on the simulator on PC, but after I generate the IPA use FB4.5.1, and install on iPad , it not working at all, only show a while screen.(I used the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, the botton Tabbar is working, I can switch the page, but on the maps page show nothing)
I also try the code on Flash CS5.5 using map_1_20.swc , when on the PC debug, it works well,(swf files), but install the AIR ipa on the iPAD, show nothing only a white sceeen.
anyone met this problem?

You can also use the MapQuest Mobile Flash Maps API. It's supported by MapQuest and does not need any work-arounds in order to work with the Flash Platform. It also takes advantage of the "build once, deploy anywhere" functionality in Flex 4.5+. MapQuest provides a demo app for Android and iOS and has the source code available for download, too.
