I took the coordinates from your earlier code and tried it out:
override protected function createMap():void
{
var mc:MercatorProjection = new MercatorProjection();
mc.initialize();
var a:Array = [

this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(2,0xFF0000);
this.graphics.beginFill(0x999999);
for(var i:int = 0; i < a.length-1; i++)
{
var ltlg:Array = a[i];
var p:Point = new Point();
p = mc.project(ltlg[0],ltlg[1], p);
this.graphics.lineTo(p.x,p.y);
}
this.graphics.endFill();
}
The resultant shape looks pretty much like a straight line, though.
Are you sure 151.25715360000004, -33.743317043500042 is actually a valid
lat/long co-ordinate? I am not able to plot it on google maps.
Thanks,
Om
