ARGHHHHH google maps! Please help!

1

I seem to be having a very strange problem with the Google maps in flash AS3.

I have it embedded in a movie that’s around 2 levels deep excluding the map.

Main Timeline
-Sub Timeline 1
-Sub Timeline 2
- Map Timeline

And when I animate the “Sub Timeline 2” MovieClip that has the map, onto the stage, it disappears completely leaving me with the blank background of “Sub Timeline 1”.

Any ideas as to what might cause this would be of great help!

  1. I’ve tried using an external swf and loading it into my main movie and it does the same thing.

  2. Ive tried loading it at a higher level (Sub timeline 1) and it works but then I lose the ability to control its animation with the “Sub timeline 2”

  3. The code i’m using to load the map is :

import com.google.maps.overlays.Marker;
import com.google.maps.overlays.MarkerOptions;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.controls.MapTypeControl;
import com.google.maps.controls.ZoomControl;
import com.google.maps.controls.PositionControl;
import com.google.maps.styles.FillStyle;
import com.google.maps.styles.StrokeStyle;

var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = “ABQIAAAA7QOgFcXWGBb-Du2Tfq6BuxQU0nzBCEMpqwrlEB04N2jT99G1-xSoDSViUL4Xwm4WDtDE6iiipKm-XA”;
map.sensor = “false”;
map.setSize(new Point(360, 320));
map.x = 0;
map.y = 0;
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);

function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
map.setCenter(new LatLng(-25.864321,28.701096), 13, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());

var markerA:Marker = new Marker(
new LatLng(-25.864321,28.701096),
new MarkerOptions({
strokeStyle: new StrokeStyle({color: 0x000000}),
fillStyle: new FillStyle({color: 0xFFFFFF, alpha: 0.8}),
radius: 8,
tooltip: “Kungwini 4X4”,
label:“A”,
hasShadow: true
}));

map.addOverlay(markerA);
}

Thanks in advance.
