Google maps in an app

[jerseydudek]

Hi,

I'm working on a project in which it would be nice to have a feature which detects the distance from your current location to the location of  a given location. Say for example your looking at an image of London bridge in an app, the distance from there to your current location would be detected and displayed.

Is that possible to  integrate. I see Google provide lots of information and tutorials but nothing specifically for AS3. I have found a post in this forum from 2015.

I was just wondering if there was any more recent developments I should be aware of before I go any further?

Thanks.

google deprecated their as3 support so i use their javascript support and externalinterface.

and you can search for a working ane, but make sure it's relatively recent before investing time in installing/using it.

Thanks

external interface ??

I'll get in to that. I reckon it'll be worth the effort.

Cheers.

if you are comfortable with js, that's the route i would recommend along with js injection so all your code (including the js) in your fla or class files.

you're welcome.

p.s. if you decide you want to hire someone to do this for you, send me private message.

Thanks. That could be a viable time saving route.
