The latitude and longitudes are in a xml file (database driven).
this what it should be.

the truyth is that I can’t manage to add a markerby latlon on the map with de latlon given in the string.
–> latLonController.addMarkerByLatLon(“WaypointMarker”, 51.265960, 3.034449);

can someone help me with the code? can someone help me with adding an entire route with markers on a map?

please help

I’m using Flex 2, and trying to use Yahoo’s new AS3 Maps libraries. I am trying to place a marker on the map wherever and whenever a user clicks on the map. I am getting some strange behavior from the addMarkerByLatLon function. Hope you can help me out Below is some of my code:

//these two lines are called when the map initializes
var d:MapEventDispatcher = new MapEventDispatcher(myAS2Map);
d.addEventListener(‘onClick’, onClick);

//this is my onClick function
private function onClick(ev:MapEvent):void{

var llc:LatLonController = new LatLonController(myAS2Map);
var point:Object = {latitude:ev.lastResult.latlon.x, longitude:ev.lastResult.latlon.y};

var latNum:Number = new Number(point.latitude);
var lonNum:Number = new Number(point.longitude);

llc.addMarkerByLatLon(‘WaypointMarker’, latNum, lonNum, ”);

Alert.show(“Lat: ” + point.latitude + ‘\n’ + “Lon: ” + point.longitude + ‘\n’ + “Latx: ” + ev.lastResult.latlon.x + ‘\n’ + “Lony: ” + ev.lastResult.latlon.y);

}

When a user clicks on the map, the alert displays the correct latlons.
The first time a user clicks on the map, a marker is placed, but only at the center. For any subsequent clicks on the map, the Alert displays the correct latlon but no marker is displayed!

What could I be missing? Your help would be much appreciated!

ev.lastResult.title
and
ev.lastResult.description

I wanted to know the dotted notation, rather then the generic array ref approach.

I still don’t know what the dotted notation for the latlon should be for an event such as:

ev.lastResult.latlon

The object type is “point”, but nowhere is it described that I was able to unearth. My solution for referencing it was dumb, but I was in a rush.

Thanks for your input.

for (var p in myMarker) {
rtnObj[p] = myMarker[p].toString();
}

So you will be able to get the latitude and longitude information using the rtnObj
Hope that Helps,

private function onPOIClicked(ev:Object):void
{
title.text = ev.???;
}

What is the object reference supposed to be in this case above?

As a bonus, I have included below a snippet of something that should have been easy to figure out had the docs been more complete:

private function onMapClick(ev:MapEvent):void
{
var llpat:RegExp = /point\((.*)\,(.*)\)/i;
var rs:String;
var ro:Object;

rs = ev.lastResult.latlon;

if ( llpat.test(rs) == true )
{
ro = llpat.exec(rs);
selLatitude = ro[2];
selLongitude = ro[1];

latitudevalue.text = selLatitude.toString();
longitudevalue.text = selLongitude.toString();

var myMarker:Object = {index:’M!’, title:’My Mark’, description:’This is a marker!\nIt is located here.’, markerColor:0×999900, strokeColor:0xFF00FF};

latLonController.addMarkerByLatLon(‘CustomPOIMarker’, selLatitude, selLongitude, myMarker);
//latLonController.addMarkerByLatLon(”,selLatitude, selLongitude, {waypointIndex:’M'});
}
}

Note that there is probably a better way to access the latlon variable. I found no meaningful examples describing this.
