GoogleMaps+flashplayer10 3D experiment

November 10th, 2008

I’m working on flash player 10 3D programming these days, When I got an assignment to experiment google maps api, I tried combine it with flash player 10 3D engine, the result is looks far more fancy than I thought.

you can drag the red point to the map, move the map, rotate the 3D surface, even the usability sucks, but it’s cool! now I know why everybody like use the maps to make demo for their new equipment or any kinds of digital product showcase, the only reason is because demo made by map is fancy, even it doesn’t make any sense.

flash plyer 10 make 3D matrix calculation extremelly easy, this demo is only spend 3 hours work, if change to flash player 9,would be spend more than 1 day.

you should install flash player 10 to play this swf file.

open this link you can download my messy source code.

    “SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: http://www.hxflyer.com/works/googlemaps3d/GoogleMaps.swf cannot access http://mt2.google.com/mt?v=ap.88&hl=en&x=67&y=39&zoom=10&s=. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.”

    Hi!

    Congratulate, very beautiful work.
    But I do not understand it, that you made with cs4, or cs3?
    Unfortunately for me only cs3-am is.
    Or there is some accessory?….

    Hi Huang

    You could actually make a GPS software from this with some kind of first person view by laying the view down in 3d and using some kind of positioning input to centre and rotate.

    Lets do that after new years eve :)

    Merry christmas…
