. Mobile Flash Map
After almost 3 years of development, a new way of viewing
maps on mobile devices. Currently uses Flash Lite 1.1.
flashmap retrieves dynamic data from xml, parses it using php
then displays it on Flash Lite 1.1 enabled mobile phones. Use the
keypad to navigate and zoom in and out, #5 shows the menu, up and
down keys select the stores. Once pressed, you will be directed to
the store you selected.
Please note: you may not see the stores actual page when you
press "enter" as it goes to a mobile website in Japan. Everything
else is ok.
We are providing this service for free for users. Please
visit our pc site to gain access to the mobile flash map sample and
view the flash video on the pc site to see the flash map from my
desk!

Hello there,
I think the problem is in how you're capturing the variables
in your PHP script. I created an example using your Actionscript
code and it works fine. Instead of hard coding the values for the
variables in the script, I created a registration form and got the
values from input textfields. Once you hit the SUBMIT button a
window opens in the browser and a PHP file catches all the
submitted data and outputs the results.
Below is the code I used in both Flash and PHP files. You can
view the example
here and
download the files
here.
Hope that helps!

First Mobile Flash Website?
I haven't ever seen any mobile websites that were completely
made from flash, so i decided to make one. Uses Php to retrieve
news dynamically. The rest of the mobile website is done completely
using Flash Lite 1.1 . Mail form, Flash Map, scrollbar, etc are
some of the features that I have never seen before on a mobile
website.

I hope you like it!Dude, your work is SICK. I can't believe the stuff you put up on your site.
As a fellow expat (Bostonite in Osaka) just getting started in the Japanese mobile interactive market I have to ask if you are open to some kind of tie-up. My company is moving me very quickly into mobile development, and I don't have many references to draw on as I go. At the moment, I'm struggling with Softbank's broken tab order, which is what brought me to this forum in the first place. Are you open to consulting/Skype/beers at Roppongi TGIFridays?

How to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app
I would like to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app when click on a text field instead of the full keyboard. Is this possible?
It looks like this is implemented in Flashbuilder 4.6 through the softKeyboardType command:
<s:TextInput softKeyboardType="number" />
Here's a link to good article on it:http://devgirl.org/2011/11/29/flex-mobile-development-flex-4-6-cool-new-soft-keyboard-feat ures-sample-w-source/ -

1 - Flash Video will be supported in Flash Lite 3, due mid
year and probably on phones by the end of the year
2 - Available to develoeprs: it means that you can download a
FL player for that phone from Adobe
Available to Consumer: it means that the phone is FL enabled,
the player is already integrated on the phone OS
3 - the 6630 supports FL player, which means that you can
install the FL player provided by Adobe. So it's not really your
target device do commercial FL content. Target devices are the one
that are FL enabled. You cannot set the FL content as screensaver
in the 6630. Nokia S40 have that feature. But you cna for sure
develop screensavers and wallpapers.

Images in Flash Mapping Client??
Hi,
Now, I'm working with Mapviewer using the Flash mapping Client. It works quit well. I'd like to know if you can insert an image like a JPG or GIF.
ThanksHi,
What a pity!! :-( We work with aereal images and it is very important for us to work with them.
Do you know if the next version would support it?
Thanks
Regards. -
Demo data set for flash mapping
As specified in the MapViewer welcome page, what's the demo dataset which i need to import to view the Flash mapping demo.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
NagarjunaIn 10g, all demo programs are installed via separate companion CD. DM demo programs are part of the companion CD and you need to install the demos from there.

Tooltip for flash map is misbehaving
I'm creating a cool flash map with close to 70 locations
listed. I created a tooltip function that displays the tooltip when
the user rolls over any location button on the stage. Now, I would
like to know what is the best way to inject the tooltip info
dynamically in my function. So far I have this(see attached code
below) and the tooltip function works but the array info is not
displayed correctly. I get an "undefined" in the tooltip text area
when I roll over the location. What could I be missing?
Any help is much appreciated. Gracias!
function showTip(tipText, orient) {
tooltip._x = _xmouse;
tooltip._y = _ymouse;
tooltip._visible = true;
tooltip.gotoAndStop(orient);
tooltip.tiptext.text = tipText;
tooltip.tiptext2.text = tipText;
onMouseMove = function(){
tooltip._x = _xmouse;
tooltip._y = _ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
function hideTip(){
tooltip._visible = false;
var b69_text:String = "Espies \n90 Wythe Ave.";
var array_text:Array = new
Array("location0","location1","location2","location3");
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
this["b"+i].onRollOver = function(){
showTip(array_text
, 5);
this["b"+i].onRollOut = function(){
hideTip();I played with the code in every way I can think of, so to get
a reason as to what's being violated we'll need someone with expert
knowledge.
What it appears to boil down to is assigning the rollOver
function in a loop with any kind of variable in the showTip
function call won't fly, except for the case where it is as it
appeared in your posting (with the [ i ] absent)... in which case
the entire array displays. If I try to assign the current array
value to another variable, within the loop, ahead of defining the
function, and use that in the showTip call, it displays the last
element of the array for all cases.
In the event that no one who knows why comes into play,
there's another way that you can skin this cat... Place your
buttons into movieclips (right click->convert to symbol, etc),
and use the loop to assign the tip text to a variable in the
movieclip. Your button code within the movieclip can be the same
for all cases, calling on that variable. -
How can I link to a specific point and zoom in a public GIS Flash map?
I have been given the url for a county map that is presented in an interactive Flash document.
http://68.156.95.45/newberrygis//#1
Client would like me to focus in on their specific development, which requires panning the map and zooming in.
How can I find a query string that will help me to do that?The functionality of the GIS map was important. I was given the email for the person in charge of the map, who helped me out. It appeared that he was able to outline the road in the neighborhood that I needed to focus on. That provided a parcel ID, which in turn made it possible to focus in on the proper area. This is supposition on my part; perhaps he has other info that gave him the parcel ID.
I agree with Ken...I'm not a huge fan of Flash on other than desktops and laptops, but it is what it is, client needs to use it, I need to help the client out!

Carnegie Mellon University looking for Mobile Flash developers opinion
Hi folks, thanks for your interest.
We are doing a research project on the mobile ecosystem
in the Mobility Research Center at Carnegie Mellon Silicon
Valley.
Our main goal in our current study is to understand the
decision-
making process followed by mobile applications
developers/start-ups.
To start immediately the survey follow
THIS
LINK
Below a short description of our project:
We are particularly interested in how mobile apps developer
decide
upon platform(s), device (s), carrier(s), and market, as well
as the relative importance of
technology and business factors.
Our research process includes a formal survey, a series of
interviews, and a public wiki.
In the fast moving mobile world Flash Lite is a news full of
promise: your experience should be taken into account in our
research.
So we would like you to complete our SURVEY at
this link
http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=1108623
We think that it will take about 10-15 minutes to complete
the survey
and will close by the beginning of February.
You can WIN A PRIZE and RECEIVE A FREE SUMMARY REPORT of our
activity.
We want to follow up with some people in more detail. If you
would
have about 30 minutes for an informal interview, please let
us know.
We've just started a wiki on this topic and encourage you
to visit, contribute, and let others know about it.
It's at
http://mobiledevelopers.pbwiki.com/
We are looking forward do receive feedback from you!
Thanks for your help, and best wishes for 2009.
PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND TO POST IT ON
YOUR BLOG!
TextDone! I built a restaurant recommendation application for the Apple iPhone. Unfortunately it wasn't approved by Apple due to their rather confounding approvals procedure. Hopefully your survey will lead to a better understanding of application development and deployment on mobile platforms. Several iPhone game developers that I know have also had trouble getting apps approved in the past.

Looking for a Tut for Flash Maps
Has anyone seen a tutorial explaining how to create something
similar to the example below?
http://www.towncenterplaza.net/StoreDirectory/StoreDirectory.asp?IdS=000F6A-EA0B540&Plugin _Detect=Flash;One particularly good thing about HoudahGeo is that it can identify folders and collections in Lightroom and list their contents. This is a handy addition to standard File Open or drag and drop ways to get the files. As a note, it seems better to use HoudahGeo with Google Earth, rather than Google Maps, as you then have the ability to search for locations.
I'd also recommend Geosetter for Windows. I feel it's actually the better of the two programs. One caution is to be careful about the order in which you do work in LR, and read in the GPS data. If there are LR adjustments, Metadata > Read from File can overwrite them - after all, that's what you're telling LR to do. So make sure that you run Metadata > Save to File first.

Lat & longitude coordinates in flash map?
Currently, I have a map of the united states, where each
state is a button that jumps to another page when you click on it.
I also have a list of customers and the (town, STATE) where
they are located.
I would really like to be able to have flash coordinate with
a list, be it XML or otherwise, that contains the locations of the
customers, then have it ask google maps, yahoo, or some other
online program where those locations are, then have it plot those
locations on a large map of the state that was clicked on. This
way, a customer will be able to come to the large map of the United
States, click on his state, and see the locations of my company's
other customers in that state.
I have heard seen other sites grab the coordinates from a
location, but I have no idea how to do something like that. ANY
suggestions are welcome, even if it is to say that I am doing
something wrong.
To see the map I have so far, go here:
http://www.geocities.com/tjs1212/MyMap.html
Again, the goal is to go to a state, explode the state to a
larger iew, and be able to see existing customers in that state
with dots where they are located. (can make the max number of
locations per state as low as 10 to make it streamlined).You've got several issues here, but let's stick to the
geocoding one first... Try the explanation in the Google API (I'm
sure Yahoo Maps has similar documentation):
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/#Geocoding_Examples
Also, there are free services that aren't attached to Google
or Yahoo. In the version 1 of the Google API, you HAD to use one.
They used to recommend and I have used Geocoder.us <
http://rpc.geocoder.us/>
in the past and its worked fine.
Hope that gets you started! -
Does anybody have any code or tutorials on how to create a
map that allows the user to zoom in and out and pan.
I want to keep the map as vector art.
Below is a link to a sample of what I am trying to create.
http://www.westminsterwoods.org/toc.php
ThanksI don't know a tutorial, but it's basically _xscale and
_yscale manipulation for the zoom, and startDrag() and stopDrag()
for the pan. Check out the Flash Help (it's all part of the
MovieClip class), this should get you started. For better
performance, see also cacheAsBitmap (if you use Flash 8).

hello everyone.
i'm a student and i have a project for my uivercity.
I have to make an application for a mobile phone, but not a
real mobile application. I want a flash file, playing in a pc,
simulating the application just like if it was playing in a mobile
phone.
So i need a mobile phone picture, with the phone buttons, as
button symbols inside flash, and all the action happens in the
mobile screen. I basically need sth like the mobile emulator wich
is already built in, but ...i want the published movie, to show the
mobile phone, and the buttons.
is it an easy way to do that? or do i have to setup all the
buttons and screenarea, etch by my one? I'm thinking if i can
publish a movie that contains the emulator, and all i have to do,
is to build the screen.
P.S I already started the manual work (i'm using graphics
from nokia n-70), but i'm having problem in making the center
button (navigation button). I want to have only one button graphic
there, but with four different hit areas, for the up, down, left
and right. Can i do that? any help? Or do i have to cut the button
graphic in four pieces, and make four different buttons?
P.S 2 I'm using flash pro 8.
pls help cause i'm running out of time. :(
thanks in advanced.I could be wrong but I beleive you would have to make 4
separate buttons.
