Hi Marcelo, Larry and Martin,
Thank you soooo much for
helpful advice I really appreciate it. I edited this bit of my code
google.maps.Event.addListener( map, 'infowindowopen', function() {
map.panTo( infowindow.getPoint(x:0, y:100) );
} );
and it works :) but unfortunatley it stops the loop timer from
working. So I need to find another way of writing it, which I think
you have all given great ideas thanks,
I have looked at the documentation, but am scratching my head on how
to write the code, so would really appreciate if someone could give me
a code hint, to writing this solution.
I understand what Martin is advising but just dont how to write it,
into what I've already got,
fromLatLngToPixel(latlng:GLatLng, zoom:Number)
getPoint()
GPoint(x:0, y:100)
fromPixelToLatLng(pixel:GPoint, zoom:Number, unbounded?:Boolean)
As mentioned I will be well chuffed and grateful to sort this
problem,
Many many thanks !
tom
here is my complete code
function customizeMap( properties, map ) {
map.addMapType(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP);
map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
var counter=0,
cancel=false,
infowindow = map.getInfoWindow(),
loopMap = function() {
if (++counter >=
properties.post_data.posts.length) counter = 0;
GeoMashup.clickMarker( properties.post_data.posts[counter].post_id );
if ( ! cancel ) {
setTimeout(function() { loopMap(); },
10000)
}
};
// If we don't have a request to open a post, start the tour
if ( ! properties.open_post_id ) {
setTimeout(function() { loopMap(); },10000)
}
// Center info windows when opened
google.maps.Event.addListener( map, 'infowindowopen',
function() {
map.panTo( infowindow.getPoint() );
} );
// Cancel the tour if the info window is manually closed
google.maps.Event.addListener( infowindow, 'closeclick',
function() {
cancel = true;
} );
loopMap();
}
