As always, break the problem up into steps. * can you load the map? Any map? If not, fix this first. * can you make setCenterByAddressAndZoom() work with hard-coded values? No, fix.
You say: "...mapping the change event to mapLoad() function ..." Do you mean: <mx:ComboBox... change="mapLoad()" ... Is the mapLoad() function getting called? Suggestion: <mx:ComboBox... change="mapLoad(event)" ... ... private function mapLoad(oEvent:Event):void var sAddress:String = oEvent.target.selectedItem.data; trace(sAddress) ...

I have just started read through the tutorial on using Yahoo Astra Map api at: http://www.clockobj.co.uk/2007/10/4/using-yahoo-astra-map-api-with-flex- 2 <http://www.clockobj.co.uk/2007/10/4/using-yahoo-astra-map-api-with-flex -2> All went good. Hence, I have a map component which I would like to add to an application where based on user selection (from a comboBox) a different city is loaded on a map. I am not really sure what needs to be triggered by the change event. I tried mapping the change event to mapLoad() function: private function mapLoad():void{ cityMap.mapController.setCenterByAddressAndZoom("{city.selectedItem.data }",14); } This does not yield results. So I suspect I need to dispatch some event that would trigger a load. Can someone point me in the right direction.
