thank you for your tutorial, it helps a lot when you begin “touching” Google Maps!
..anyway I’m trying to add touchable markers to my map, so that if touched they show their InfoWindow but I’m going crazy after it! As you suggested I add a TouchEvent to markerOptions.icon
“markerOptions.icon.addEventListener(TouchEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickInfo);”
In particular my code is:

[..]
var urlIcon:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“image__.png”);
loadIcon= new Loader();
loadIcon.load(urlIcon);
var markerOptions:MarkerOptions = new MarkerOptions({});
markerOptions.icon = loadIcon;
markerOptions.icon.addEventListener(TouchEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickInfo);

function clickInfo(event:TouchEvent):void
{
map.openInfoWindow(marker.getLatLng(),
new InfoWindowOptions({
titleHTML: “”+myTitle,
contentHTML: “”+myContent
}));
}
[..]
..it works just fine, but if you want to close the infowindow.. NO WAY!

Do you have any idea what is going on?

Google Flash Map Marker example You cannot directly add the TouchEvent to the marker itself, you need to add it to the icon in the marker because that is the display object.

Line of code to add in the example:
markerOptions.icon.addEventListener(TouchEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickInfo);

I hope this helps

>Do you have any knowledge on the MapMouseEvent and how to add “touch” on the marker?

Did anyone ever find an answer to this? Trying to solve it now, and so far Google isn’t helping.
