I've been investigating this for a while now and I'd be most
interested to hear if you find a practical solution.
I'm adding mountains to the map as markers via a database with their
heights, latlng's and various other information. I tried adding them
as a loop (shown below).
public function populateMap():void{
map.clearOverlays();
for each(var o:Object in munrosArray){
var markerOptions:MarkerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.icon = new GlobalVariables.munroIcon();
markerOptions.iconAlignment =
MarkerOptions.ALIGN_HORIZONTAL_CENTER;
markerOptions.iconAlignment =
MarkerOptions.ALIGN_VERTICAL_CENTER;
markerOptions.tooltip = o.Name;
var latlng:LatLng = new LatLng(o.Latitude,o.Longitude);
var marker:Marker = new Marker(latlng,markerOptions);
var details:InfoWindowOptions = new InfoWindowOptions({
customContent: new CustomInfoWindow(o.Name, o.Metres,
o.Feet,
o.Latitude, o.Longitude, o.GridRef, o.ColGridRef),
customOffset: new Point(50, 50)});
marker.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK,
function(event:Event):void{marker.openInfoWindow(details);});
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
}
It works perfectly for the tooltip, but not for the CustomInfoWindow,
always showing the last added mountain's information. I realise this
is because it doesn't store the data in the infoWindow, but I'd really
like a way to fix this.
