Thanks Both,
I have decided to try and implement the viewpoint method (the other
looks far too complicated for an amateur like me!!). I put the code
below into my onMapReady function but when I search random places they
all were available.
var myLatLngBounds:LatLngBounds = new LatLngBounds(
new LatLng(0.000001, 0.000001),
new LatLng(0.000001, 0.000001));
var options:ClientGeocoderOptions = new ClientGeocoderOptions({
viewport: myLatLngBounds
});
Do I have to do anything else to stop my search?
This is what I have used to implement my search:
function createPoint(event:Event):void {
var my_point:ClientGeocoder = new ClientGeocoder();
// create Custom marker object
var mc_icon:marker_icon = new marker_icon();
var markerPin:marker_pin = new marker_pin();
my_point.addEventListener(;
GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_SUCCESS,;
function(event:GeocodingEvent):void {;
var placemarks:Array = event.response.placemarks;
if (placemarks.length > 0) {;
map.setCenter(placemarks[0].point, 18);
var marker:Marker = new Marker(placemarks[0].point,;
new MarkerOptions({ ;
hasShadow: true,;
icon: mc_icon.addChild(markerPin),;
iconOffset: new Point(0, -35);
}) ;
);
marker.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK, function
(event:MapMouseEvent):void {;
marker.openInfoWindow(new InfoWindowOptions({;
content: placemarks[0].address;
}));
});
map.addOverlay(marker);
};
});
my_point.addEventListener(;
GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_FAILURE,;
function(event:GeocodingEvent):void {;
trace(event);
trace(event.status);
});
my_point.geocode(address.text);
}
Forgive my ignorance, I am a novice to AS3
