Google Maps in Flash

Question

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!
