GOOGLE MAPS ERROR - doesnt appear when its swf is being called by the main swf

[joana_xyzt]

Good Afternoon,


Im trying to solve a problem that i have in a flash presentation. Im trying to call to the main.swf other swf that contains some text and a google map. The swf that contains the google map is working fine...but everytime i play the main one, the text appears but the gmap doesnt.

can anyone help me?

the code that i put on the main.swf refering to the google maps one is below (i followed the logic of the gallery that came with the presentation .fla):

// google-maps module
case "google-maps" :
if (firstLoad != true) {
var move1Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeIn, contentBG_mc._x, -500, 0.5, true);
} else {
var move1Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeIn, -500, -700, 0.5, true);
}
move1Content.onMotionFinished = function() {
resetAll();
contentBG_mc.container_mc._visible = true;
loadMovie(asset, contentBG_mc.container_mc);
var move2Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeOut, Stage.width+500, Stage.width/2, 0.5, true);
move2Content.onMotionFinished = function() {
var move3Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc.container_mc, "_alpha", None.easeOut, contentBG_mc.container_mc._alpha, 100, 1, true);

};
};

errr.....i already had it in my code and it doesnt work

[joana_xyzt]

maybe the problem is that the project is in actionscript 2.0....but it has to, cuz if i change it to 3.0 it crashes.

i found out some portable Flash interface for the Google Maps API from Critical Mass (http://code.google.com/p/google-maps...terface/)...im goin to check it out and update the result here..


thank u

put this code in the beginning of the first frame in your google swf and see if it fixes the problem:

this._lockroot = true;

[joana_xyzt]

in the googlemaps fla or in the main one?

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _lockroot is no longer supported. For more information, see displayObjectInstance.root..

look in your publish settings - what flash player are you publishing to? you coding in AS2 or AS3 ... sounds like you are trying to load an AS3 swf into an AS2 swf ..

[joana_xyzt]

??

Already wrote that the main project is in AS2....but the google maps one is in AS3.

the thing is that if i change the main one to AS3....it crashes, doesnt work.

[silentweed]

you cant load an as3 swf into an as2 swf ...

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...=00000011.html

so either you need to recode your main swf into as3 or you need to find a google map component for use with as2

[joana_xyzt]

i already found that out...but thank u anyway.

i'll problably need to recode it...but do u know where can i find help for that?..cuz the project isnt mine, im not an actionscrip "expert".

[silentweed]

well gotoandlearn.com is quite good you may pick up some as3 basics from there .. also the flash documentation itself should be really helpful ...

ok thank u..
