Multiple Instances of the Yahoo Map- Part II

Hi,

Few days back i was trying to achieve the task of having multiple instance of yahoo map in an application;

I got the dirty workaround to this

What i have done is :

Create an actionscript class that extend the YahooMapService class.

Create an instance of the class in a base state of the Flex Application file

Create a view stack with different views in this application file and each of the component that you are using in side the view stack must have a load map method that accepts the map object.

This method will load this map object in the container using the addChild method of the container.

One strange thing that i have noticed is every time you load the component in the view stack you have to make the yahoo map object null.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

P.S: If somebody have the better solution to this plz provide the ideas here.

Multiple Instances of Yahoo Maps in a Single Page

Hi,

I am trying these thing for a quiet a long time but without any success, When I try to put more than one instance of yahoo map on a single page it is only showing one map instance and the other instance is not loading

I have discussed this with the author of the AS3 toolkit of yahoo maps

U can see it here

If any one has any input on this please comment here.

Thanks,

Yahoo Maps AS3 Communication tool kit

I am playing with the Yahoo Maps communication tool kit since it has released and I was pretty disappointed on seeing that it doesn’t had the CustomPoiMarkerClick event.

Then I started looking in the code which is relased by yahoo maps as a wrapper to the existing Flex 1.5 API

I have just modified the method in that source and i am posting it here so it might be useful to ppl working on Mashups.


function onPOIClicked(ev:Object) {
var rtnObj:Object = new Object();
var myMarker:Object = ev.marker;
for (var p in myMarker) {
rtnObj[p] = myMarker[p].toString();
}
for (var q in ev){
if (typeof(ev[q]) != 'movieclip') {
rtnObj[q] = ev[q];
}
}
EIBuffer.addCall({method:swfDomId + ".onPOIClicked" + id, data:rtnObj});
}


After changing the method in the as2map.fla file which is under source/as2 directory of yahoo library source.

I was able to get all the marker details like ‘title’, ‘description’,'index’ and the usual stuff like latlon information etc.

Hope that helps,
