I use a method that adds the marker and infowindow options to the data
array.
This is not working code just a guide, hope it helps.
Create a custom MarkerInfoWindow mxml component that has a var
Data:Object
and code that on creation sets the fields within the window to
elements of the Object
i.e fldLastName.text = Data.lastName;
When creating the marker create the InfoWindowOptions
var newDataWindow:DataTabWindow = new DataTabWindow();
//Set the public variable in your infoWinfow class
newDataWindow.Data = myDataArray[index];
var IWOptions:InfoWindowOptions = new InfoWindowOptions({
customContent: newDataWindow,
customOffset: new Point(0, 10),
width: 280,
height: 280,
drawDefaultFrame: true
});
// Add marker and infoWindowOptions to your data array
myDataArray[index]["Marker"] = sMarker;
myDataArray[index]["IWOptions"] = IWOptions;
// Add click event listener to launch infoWindow
myDataArray[index].Marker.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK,
function (event:MapMouseEvent):void {
var tIndex:int = findIndexFromMarker(event.target as Marker);
myDataArray[tIndex].Marker.openInfoWindow(myDataArray[tIndex].IWOptions);
});
map.addOverlay(myDataArray[index].Marker);
// function to find index from marker in data array
private function findIndexFromMarker(m:Marker):int {
var nCount:Number = myDataArray.length;
var i:int;
for (i = 0; i < nCount ; i++) {
if (myDataArray[i].Marker == m) {
break;
}
}
return i;
}
