Migration of Google Maps Javascript to Flash

Hi, I am trying to gather information on how to migrate a heavily Google Maps based website
Mapped Travel from pure Javascript to Flash. I was wondering if there is a good migration guide out there, if there are any limitations (performance, compatibility, functionality, etc.)? Maybe there are even scripts to help me automate the migration? Thanks for any comments, Ralph

You use ExternalInterface.addCallback to enable calling a function from JS.
Here, this tutorial has everything you need: http://www.viget.com/inspire/bi-directional-actionscript-javascript-communication

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.

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.

Replacing Flash Google Maps

Hi,
As of 3rd Sept 2014 Google Maps Flash API has been closed. I have a browser based swf which incorporates a map in its interface that now doesn't function.
Would anyone have any suggestions on a replacement API or method of showing an interactive map (e.g. Google Map JavaScript API) within the swf?
Thanks,
Mark

you should be able to use the javascript api with actionscript's externalinterface to use google maps and as2.

How to show google maps in JPanel

How do i show the google maps in Java Application.
Please help me.

Yup, that's it. Notice that it's "The Google Maps *JavaScript* API" so you're going to have to provide a JavaScript runtime environment in your JPanel. That shouldn't be impossible given that Java does contain such a thing these days, but the AJAX aspects (where the API wants to connect to the Google servers) might be tricky. Perhaps somebody has done this sort of thing already and posted it on Sourceforge or something.

Map marker + geolocation (google maps)

I'm currently working on embedding a google map in my app. The geolocating already works ( I used this code: DPS Tips HTML5 Examples, thanks Bob!), but I just can't add markers to the map. I tried different codes but none seem to work. I would also need the markers to have their names shown (e.g. hotspot 1, hotspot 2).
Has anyone here found a solution for this and would be kind enough to share?
Thanks in advance!

hi! I used the code for geolocation from the link above, and this code for the marker: Simple markers - Google Maps JavaScript API v3 — Google Developers
It both works independently, but I can't mix them. I also can't find a way to modify my marker ( own icon) and add an info box.
I tried some of the following links to try and work those aspects to the marker file, if it helps with finding a solution:
LabeledMarker Documentation: Examples
Adding dynamic content to Google Maps marker - Stack Overflow
map-geolocation-with-fancy-marker.html - gmaps-samples-v3 - Google Maps API v3 Sample Code - Google Project Hosting

Qickly changed Tramps to Gramps?
To place a google map in your site, have a look here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2187524. This will enable you to place a pin on your address.
To have your address placed in a google.com hosted site, you will need to Google the subject.

Error on Google maps simple map with Flex3

I have the following message ; "Initialization failed: please
specify an API key"
when I try to run the first sample that i found on Google
Maps API for Flash Tutorial ; link below
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/basics.html
Google explains that when you run on your own computer, you
don't need the key.
I tried it on flex3 and Air with the same error message.
May somebody explain what i do wrong ?
Excuse my english because I'm french

Hi. Are you running your example on a local web server or
just from the file system? Even when specifying a correct key for a
local virtual host in apache, I get:
Initialization failed: please check the API key,
swf location, version and network availability.
I am using Map.key="mykey"

Google Map route in web dynpro question

Hi all,
     I have a route from add_A to add_B in my database, i want to get this route data from database and show up in google map page. The show up function can be implement by call google map javascript. My problem is how can send route data from web dynpro to my google map page. The google map page can be a JSP or html page, assume that we use the iFrame element to show this page.
    I search forum, there is a way send the data by url parameter, but my case, the route data should be very large, may not be send by the url parameter. If any one have good idea or other solution for my case.

I am encountering to new problem. After deploy my app and run in portal, the redirect does not work. the error message is:
   com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException:
Suspend-Plug must no be triggered when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.view.View.navigate(View.java:529)
