hello peeps,
I’m creating a really cool project using Google Maps + Twitter API… I have found really cool sample codes on how to achieve displaying tweets by geo tag locations on the Google Map using Flash AS3.
But… not quiet what I’m looking for.
here is my code:

}so what this does is gets only the latest geo tag tweet and post it on google map.
what im trying to achieve is to get all the geo tag tweets and display it on google maps…
here is my code so u can review with the .fla
i know im very close but not quiet there yet…
thank you! :esmirk:
