Yahoo Maps API , in Flash working with a datagrid

[centralperks]

Hey All,

So i have completed the porject that i was begging for help on and it cam off
WONDERFULLY . Thanks to all that helped.
Now i want to spice it up a bit.

I have a database containing my list of items, and have input all the
appropriate data.
Now what i would like to do is integrate the Yahoo Maps API in my project.

I have gotten this far.

I can load a combo box from a database, and output an XML file from the combo
box, to load the appropriate data into a datagrid. I would now like to take the
data from the data grid and generate a Yahoo map on the bottom section of the
site.

So for instance, user selects. Category, and then a sub item.
once the sub item is selected , it would then send a command to a database
using PHP, and search for the appropriate makrers to place on the map.

So if someone selects the college , Texas A&M from the data grid. The yahoo
map would load below and list all the apartment complexs we have associated
with A&M and would place markers on the map accordingly

Help me out PLEASE :-)

Hi,
I have the same sort of problem - did you resolve this ?

My idea was to use the Yahoo Maps Flash API, I have made my locations into a
GEORSS format xml file. But I cant seem to load it up. Also - this doesn't give
me the datagrid out of the box.

If you got a good answer I would really appreciate some help.

Regards
Simon

I think your problem descriptions are a little too vague or wide-reaching to
answer. Perhaps if you narrow down the issue you are having.

DO you know how to put a google map on the screen already?
Hav you appluied for a google API id?
Do you know how to add a marker on the screen?
Are you having trouble passing the coordinates from your existing actionscript
code into your google api code?

Narrow down the problem description and you might get some help.

Cheers,
Max

Also have you looked up the Google Maps API demos to see if there is code to do what you want. There are definitely examples of how to add markers.
