JC Flash Map

 

About

JC Flash Map is an Adobe Flash CS3/CS4 ActionScript 3.0 component used to display online maps from all of the major map providers: Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Microsoft Maps and OpenStreetMap. You can use the component to navigate through the map and pin down selected location with custom defined markers. This component can also be customized by you so you can fully integrate it in your applications and websites.

The component needs Internet connection in order to download and display the map. It divides the map into several tiles that are loaded and displayed as soon as the necessary information is downloaded from the map provider.

The component uses geographical coordinates defined as latitude and longitude to identify locations on the map. The latitude and longitude accept values only as decimal degrees, not as degrees, minutes and seconds.

The map can also be zoomed in or out, having a maximum zoom depending on the map provider (for more details please see the zoom property defined below).
