I've stumbled upon this flash map
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/nation/unemployment-by-county/
it looks like they used this map to construct the website.

I am curious as to what people have done or any blogs that describe what can be done with flex and simple maps like this (not google maps style maps) but simple all-in-memory maps like this one. It would be cool to see what/ and how flex can do in terms of maps.
thanks!
You would need to draw the entire map. Its more of like a custom component. The below class would is how to start with.

I want to use http://{s}.google.com/vt?lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}', {subdomains:['mt0','mt1','mt2','mt3']} - google maps tile template. This is possible? I can't find how to do it in here maps, but I know that it is possible in different map libraries. And, if it is possible, I can use this with vector.normal.truck layers, to see what route is allowed for some trucks?
i am actually trying to follow this tutorial: "How to create a HTML draggable and scrollable map with inertia using Phaser framework" (google it, www. emanueleferonato .com)
Im using Unity but i configured it "pixel perfect" so i can use directly pixels like in AS3 and flashdevelop.
I basically need to make a map for the game where the player can drag in the X axis of the map.
I have no clue of how to do it, also it should have acceleration and deceleration.
Edit:
As i say before, i am using a custom framework that does not allow components, or UI, it works like FlashDevelop and AS3, so imagine the answer is in AS3.
Thanks!
I recommend looking up Unity's UI documentation (AND TUTORIALS!) :D They have really good articles, and the forums are a great resource too.
Regarding your specific problem- Scroll Rect is what you are looking for. You can implement 2D dragging, along with acceleratoion, deceleration, and other kinds of UI physics (inertia, elasticity, etc.) with it.
Please look for tutorials if you're just beginning to dabble with these. I hope that helps!
I'm using osm maps with css files in my app (in iOS, but it does not matter) for customizing their appearance. I'd like to make them looks like google maps. Where I can find css or something like that for google maps? I need to know only colors of main highways and zones, so if you know them tell me)) thanks in advance!
Pretty sure you would have to dive into the Google Maps API to extract the kind of information you are looking for, I could be mistaken but Google does not offer a CSS way to manipulate its maps look and feel.
OR
Bring up a Google Map, take a screen shot and then use the eye dropper in your favourite graphics program to extract the HEX values.
I want to show flash google map as given on below link
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-FDICBANKS111609_RETRO.html
Can anyone please help me from where can I start?
Is there any ready map available like that?
There's a sample Pan/Zoom Flex Application with source for moving around with a Map, which is pretty neat.
Then there's the Google Maps API for Flex, and they have a few examples and base projects you could use to get started.
TriceDesigns has a GoogleEarth Flex Example (with source).
And here's some other examples with source:
Basic Map: Source
China Relief: Source
Smart Info Window Demo: Source
Orthogonal 3D Map: Source
I would start with the Google Map API Flex Library, and one of those projects, and just go from there.
Hope that helps.
You could look at amMap for flash and flex maps and charts (there's a free and a pay version).
i need of simple UsA map in flex ,all Area need to be click able as button .
Is there any tool available for designing buttons in various shape in flex or any build in free map is available in flex.
As vector format so that zoom in will not affect the quality.
i need to design like as shown in this site
http://www.futurevision.com.ua/products/usa_flash_map.php
This is the Degrafa Map Demo. It is still in the samples section so perhaps the site was down at the time.
data viz sample page here:: http://www.degrafa.org/samples/data-visualization.html
Load the "Map Dashboard" sample and Right click/View source to get at the code.
Cheers
Jason.
I posted a similar question a while ago but needed more customization.
I used SVG path data in Degrafa to create custom maps of the world, continents, USA.. for a customer. Degrafa used to have a nice US map demo (with source code) as part of its samples, but it disappeared from the web. I don't know of any tool that would help to design clickable Flex shapes. I have no doubt though that Degrafa will provide more support and tools for converting and using SVG.
Some products I found: ilog, ArcGis
And also found this open-source library : GeoVis (birdeye)
But it's very unstable and haven't seen many changes recently.
I'll do that (or, I'll have a designer to do that) in illustrator, and then import the vector format in flex, with the [Embed] metadata.
I don't know if it is a downside for you (for me is a plus), but in this way you have to do everything in code, not with the FlexBuilder UI.
