Google Routing Widget for the Flexviewer

[andrewj_ca]

I've just posted a widget for leveraging Google's directions api.  Download and enjoy, both compiled and uncompiled versions have been supplied.  I've posted version 1 of the widget to get some comments and maybe see what additional functionality people may want.  I have my own ideas but I'd like to get some feedback.  Please remember to rate the widget if you like what you see.

The zip file contains a users.xml with what looks like username/password.  If those are real passwords, you might want to remove that file from the download... 🙂

Also, you might want to remove the whole compiled version except for the actual GoogleRouting widget (and its related files).  Most of the time you can assume that people already have the "main" compiled version, and thus are only looking for the files needed by this widget.  Just a suggestion...

For the Google directions, are you using the http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/ API? 

Did you also look at their flash API (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/reference.html#Directions)?

Thanks, The users xml was just leftover garbage from previous testing.  Nothing critical there.  I will also check out the flash api, I hate having to use a proxy.

Bjorn,

Is it me or is the flash api a little less functional?  The api I'm currently using seems like it has much more.

[BjornSvensson]

Andrew, I haven't looked closer at their flash api, I was hoping you had 🙂

Though I'm not surprised that their flash api has less features than their SOAP API...

Thank you for this app. I am receiving the following error message after I type in some addresses: faultCode:Channel.Security.Error faultString:'Security error accessing url' faultDetail:'Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://www.geosmartniagara.ca/googleproxy/Service.asmx?WSDL)' I can access this URL from IE8 directly without a problem.

Also, I cannot find where on the .xml file where I replace LocalHost with my server name. Any advise would help. I really would like to get this app working.

When you can access the URL directly but not from a flash application, it is usually due to either a missing crossdomain.xml file, or it's not configured to allow your flash application access.

In this case, look at http://www.geosmartniagara.ca/crossdomain.xml and you'll notice that it only allows access for applications hosted on cogeco.ca.  What's the URL for your application?
<allow-access-from domain="*.cogeco.ca"/>
