Thanks, it did help, in order to load custom markers with click events this is
now my attempt....
What I am now trying to do is load custom markers, once the user clicks on it,
it's a method inside the loaded swf marker that loads the image...but I need to
pass the image location to the loaded swf.. once it's loaded... This is what I
have so far:
I added an event listener :
mapEventDispatcher.addEventListener('addSWFMarkerByAddress_Result',
onSWFMarkerAdded);
Then similar to what you have:
latLonController.addMarkerByLatLon('CustomSWFMarker',44,
-80,{url:'customMarker.swf', ref:'myMark'});
Then the event function:
private function onSWFMarkerAdded(ev:Object):void {
Alert.show(ev.lastResult, 'Title');
//shows nothing...
}
All works great, the event fires when the markers are added BUT from what I
gather the event object "ev" has 2 params: event type and a reference id. I do
not know however what the actual param names are....And for some reason my
Flexbuilder hangs while the map is loading ( I am uing the yahoo as3 connection
kit) in debug mode.. I cannot go see the names..
So now, I am trying to figure out how I am going to pass the data to the loaded
swf.... :(
Perhaps this is the wrong approach, but I am learning! :)
thanks in advance for any help!

I actually am having the same documentation issues, but this might
help you:
latLonController. addMarkerByLatLo n('CustomPOIMark er',dp[i] .lat,
dp[i].lon,{index: index,title: dp[i].shortName, description:
description, markerColor: Number('0x3366CC' ), strokeColor:
Number('0xCEE9FF' )});
Basically, it uses the latLonController to add CustomPOIMarker.
Problem is, the response will not give you a reference. I hacked
around it using the title of the marker as an index to the data array.
Hope that helps,
- William
