Carl,
Yes i know that feeling. I find it really annoying that the basic
tutorials do not exist and it does hinder newbies. You would think
that with the number of people with one location a basic tutorial
would exist showing people how to add 1 custom marker and 1 custom
info window onto a map. Like you I find the examples and demos
overkill. Rant over but in answer to your question to add a custom
marker and in this case I have added a .png marker converted to a
movie symbol with a class name of "marker" on the map the following
script will work. I do not know actionscript that well either so
hopefully someone will post any corrections if need be.
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.controls.MapTypeControl;
import com.google.maps.controls.ZoomControl;
import com.google.maps.controls.PositionControl;
import com.google.maps.overlays.Marker;
import com.google.maps.overlays.MarkerOptions;
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = "YOUR API KEY";
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
map.addControl(new PositionControl());
map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new LatLng(55.960618, -3.165113), 14,
MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(55.960618, -3.165113),
new MarkerOptions({icon:new marker()}));
map.addOverlay(m);
}
