The Google Flex Map component is a control that exposes the usage of Google Maps AS3 API The control is pretty simple to use, as long as with some simple access for his properties

Why?

Well Google did a great job exposing the API for developers to access their services using provide by Flash Player platform As a good developer you might need to extends and add more options to the API.

And Google didn't any specify component for Flex developers, this component intend to help and demonstrate how easy is to use it. Just drag the Control, put your key developer and than that's all.

How to use? Flex Developers use's

The <mx:ComboBox> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:GoogleFlexMap
    Properties
    key="the key generated by google"
    mapType="0" 
    mousewheelZoomEnabled="false" 
    ZoomLevel="6"

    height="500" 
    showTypeControl="false"

   I used the Clinical and default Event Class for Events to not interrupt of soomth work as Flex/Flash developers to use it.
