Making Components Work Together - InsideRIA. Using Google Maps API in Actionscript 3.0 to render images « Amusicology. November 21, 2008 at 9:31 am Drew Massey So, as some of you know, I’ve been working on inventoriana.com for a while now. In its new iteration, I am trying to shake of some of the problems of the existing version – one of the most important of which is allowing images of arbitrary size to be displayed and navigated easily.
Taking a page from the playbook of the Center for Hellenic Studies, I’ve been playing with Google Maps. They have a nice, easy to use interface, and the added luxury of playing well with ActionScript 3.0 and Flash (which much of inventoriana is currently implemented in). So this is a little bit of documentation for anyone who wants to just render images in flash using the Google Maps API. If javascript is enough for you, you can also pay a visit to University College London, which has developed a number of handy tools (one of which I will use shamelessly here).
I hope it helps, since the online documentation for google maps is a bit obscure Step 2: Get the Flash Component. Importing *all* geonames tables to mysql. I found out the problem with the uft8 problem (I had the same problem, see some posts above). You must add the "CHARACTER SET utf8" into the LOAD DATA command. # open mysql command line mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -u root -p # set character-set to utf8 SET NAMES 'utf8'; # create the database CREATE DATABASE `geonames`; # use the database USE `geonames`; # create the allCountries table for example CREATE TABLE `geonames`.
So, I do have also a question. I want to get the closest/nearest point to a point in that table. Yes, I could build a bounding box with a rectangle of e.g. 1 mile. But, is there not an more easier way to find the closest point by a coordinate? Google Maps Query String Parameters | Query String Parameters. This book is about the next generation of the Google Maps API.
