Google maps for flash been Deprecated !

Hello. i just wana notify the comunity about a serious step tooken from google to kill the maps for flash, because seems like they can not handle them.
I would like to hear Adobe opinion - can Adobe do their developers a favor and asign a programmers to took close deal with google and continue the maps for flash ?
This is not a simple issue, it will be a vital for the future development of many things connected to Adobe and Google.
Please consider the question carefully.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/
"Note: The Google Maps API for Flash has been officially deprecated as of September 2, 2011. The API will continue to work as per ourdeprecation policy, but we encourage you to migrate your applications to version 3 of the Maps JavaScript API."
The statement is perfectly LOL.
And seems like google can not pay 2-3 more developers to took care for thoose API,
The forum comunity related to this API vould like to ask if can Adobe took care on it because they have proven as a good team of developers already.

  • Google Maps for Flash in AIR for Android: ~2 minutes to start up

    I have a "Hello World" style AIR for Android app using Flash Builder 4 Burrito/Flex Hero.
    When debugging on device (stock HTC Desire) using Flex version v1.20 of Google Maps for Flash (map_flex_1_20.swc), it takes 1 minute and 50 seconds for the app to startup to display a simple map:Map3D on the home screen. The same app without the map:Map3D object starts in just a few seconds.
    There are no startup delays using the simulator.
    Anyone know what might be causing the severe startup delay when running on device?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Hi - yes no problem: I've uploaded a sample app here: http://crackedfrog.com/files/AndroidAIRMap.zip.
    You'll need to add a valid Google Maps API key and corresponding URL back into the maps:Map3D object:
    <maps:Map3D left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
      xmlns:maps="com.google.maps.*" id="map"
      url=""
      key=""
      sensor="false"/>
    This shows the same behaviour as described above - around 2 minutes to start up when debugging on the device.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

  • Google Maps in Flash

    Hi, I've been researching embedding google maps in Flash and have followed the Google Maps API developers guide (after downlaoding and installing the SDK and generating a key).  I'm currently using the foloowing code,m but it doesnt seem to work I'm not even seeing the map, and Im getting errors relating to the controls elements I've added.  Can anyone help?
    import com.google.maps.LatLng;
    import com.google.maps.Map;
    import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
    import com.google.maps.MapType;
    import com.google.maps.Controls;
    var map:Map = new Map();
    map.key = "ABQIAAAAdrPixq2HTFFowI9qjk74wxRIyoY1_2mmZno9JS0jJW-gT85BPRRotnr4suVY_4iicnk27GnnECcjXQ";
    map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
    map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
    this.addChild(map);
    function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
      map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
      map.addControl(new PositionControl());
      map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
      map.setCenter(new LatLng(53.535192,-2.00475), 14, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
      var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(53.535192,-2.00475));
      map.addOverlay(m);

    Hi there. I downloaded the SDK myself and managed to solve your problem. It's because of your imports.
    First of all make sure the .swc file is in your library ( found in the lib folder called "map_1_18" )
    (Whilst in Flash) Press Ctrl+U to open up the preferences, then go to the Actionscript category and select "AS3 settings"
    Press the red button to browse to your .swc file.
    Also have the SDK in your directory.
    Then change your imports to this;
    import com.google.maps.LatLng;
    import com.google.maps.overlays.Marker;
    import com.google.maps.Map;
    import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
    import com.google.maps.MapType;
    import com.google.maps.controls.*;
    You forgot to add one, and also you were importing the Controls folder and not the contents. ...And your map should debug perfectly. Happy Mapping!

  • Can you insert a google map in flash?

    I was wondering
    how I could insert a google map in a
    flash app and preserve the interactive aspects of the google map?
    Thank you for the help.

    yes, for as3, there's an api for flash.  check the google docs.
    for as2, you can purchase (or they may be a free) google component or, use javascript and the flash externalinterface class.

  • Google map for store locator.

    Is it possible to have the Google map remain on the page while doing a search for a store, company etc.? I'd noticed that it only shows up after you type in a State etc. The space where the map displays looks empty until the map shows up.

    Hi there,
    Yes, Google has changed things and you now don't need an API key.  The good old boys at Kiyuco have a later Web App Google Map tutorial here http://kiyuco.com/tutorials/update-maps-to-google-map-api-v3 which explains how to set it up.
    Hope that helps

  • Google map for searching place and driving aid

    I search the place before driving at home in my laptop using google map. this is very convenient.
    I bought the windows phone, with the hope that it will be more closer to my laptop, which runs on windows.
    but now when I type the URL for google map. it prompts me to install the google map. When I do so it says:  " Can't download file Windows phone doesn't support this file type."
    On checking with nokia customer support, they informed that we can't install any application on our phone, but the only one that are listed in " marketplace".
    They say the Nokia map exists, but that isn't that rich as google maps.
    Can anyone help if I can use the map search/ find direction  in mobilie?

    You have full free sat nav on the lumia why do you need google to navigate or find somewhere ?

    Hi, try Options -> Tools -> Connections and select a working connection. It needs at least a data connection to download maps from Google unlike Nokia maps where the maps can be downloaded in advance.
    I find that the maps are more detailed in Google compared to Nokia maps though and is more 'eye friendly'.
    Cheers.

  • What is the best way to create a 3d map for flash/actionscript?

    Hi
    what are good and easy to use tools to create a 3d map/world - terrain, buildings, .... - for use in flash? ideally I would be able to control the objects with actionscript.
    thanks,
    Chris

    first, you should pick a 3d framework (away3d, flare3d etc) to use.  that will determine what format/tools you can use for your 3d objects.

  • Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

    Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

    Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.
