Coding for my map search?

[doogers]

My coder is trying to make a custom map search work on my website that he is building. On most computers it works and on others it does not. Does anyone know what would be causing this? Also, is there any way to make the properties show up quicker than they do? People are going to leave my website if they don't show up quicker. Thanks for your help.

What do you mean it doesn't work on some computers? It doesn't show up, or the code breaks?

The lag could be from Google Maps. I have site that uses maps for the properties, and sometimes it can take up to a minute for the maps to all load.

The searches loaded quickly for me.

The little home pin points dont show up.

Is it in Firefox that they do not show up? I have maps on my website that don't work in FF.

well it doesnt work in firefox, but also internet explorer. I will post you a message that my coder posted on another website, looking for help.

Hello everyone,

I am creating a real-estate website. My client has thousands of properties in his database and wanted them displayed using the google map api.

I love working with flash and found the GMap component which I am really starting to love.

I have a few questions about the component. If anybody has time and is willing to lend me some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Here is the easy question...

Code:
map.addKMLLayer({name:"myLayer", noInfo:false, path:"someFile.kml"});


What does the noInfo parameter do exactly?

I noticed if there are no placemarks in a KML file, my KML_LOAD_COMPLETE function never gets called. Does this parameter fix that issue?

2. This second issue only comes up for certain people. I have made sure these people have javascript enabled and have the latest version of flash. For several users no placemarks ever display on the map after the KML file is called. I did a test recently with one of these users, and the MAP_ERROR function gets called but does not have an error message.

Here is the link to my client's map search:

Here is the code that we are using in the flash program:
Code:
_root.MAP_PROPERTY_TYPE = -1;
_root.MAP_PRICE_FROM = -1;
_root.MAP_PRICE_TO = -1;
_root.MAP_BEDROOMS = -1;
_root.MAP_BATHROOMS = -1;
_root.UPDATE_PROPERTIES = 0;

_root.NEW_CENTER_LATITUDE = 0;
_root.NEW_CENTER_LONGITUDE = 0;
_root.cityChanged = 0;
_root.MAP_CITY = -1;

_root.loadInProgress = 0;

_root.myMap.addControl(_root.myMap.GZoomControl()) ;
_root.myMap.addControl(_root.myMap.GPositionContro l());
_root.myMap.addControl(_root.myMap.GNavigatorContr ol());

_root.layer;

_root.myMap.addEventListener("MAP_ON_DRAG_STOP", updateMarkers);

function updateMarkers()
{
_root.loadInProgress = 1;
_root.loadingClip._visible = true;

var center = _root.myMap.getCenter();

_root.centerLatitudeRadians = center.lat * Math.PI / 180;
_root.centerLongitudeRadians = center.lng * Math.PI / 180;

_root.myLayerURL = "http://www.realestate-holland.com/kml/propertyList.cfm?requestKML=1";
_root.myLayerURL += "&MAP_CITY="+_root.MAP_CITY+"&MAP_PROPERTY_TYPE="+ _root.MAP_PROPERTY_TYPE;
_root.myLayerURL += "&MAP_PRICE_FROM="+_root.MAP_PRICE_FROM+"&MAP_PRIC E_TO="+_root.MAP_PRICE_TO;
_root.myLayerURL += "&MAP_BEDROOMS="+_root.MAP_BEDROOMS+"&MAP_BATHROOM S="+_root.MAP_BATHROOMS;
_root.myLayerURL += "&centerLatRadians="+_root.centerLatitudeRadia ns;
_root.myLayerURL += "&centerLongRadians="+_root.centerLongitudeRadians ;
_root.myLayerURL += "&randomNumber="+getTimer()+getTimer()+getTimer()+ getTimer()+getTimer()+getTimer();

_root.myMap.removeLayers();
_root.layer = _root.myMap.addKMLLayer({path:_root.myLayerURL});

_root.layer.addEventListener("KML_LOAD_COMPLETE", KML_LOAD_COMPLETE);
}

function KML_LOAD_COMPLETE(evt:Object)
{
_root.loadInProgress = 0;
_root.loadingClip._visible = false;
}

_root.myMap.addEventListener("MAP_READY", startInitialUpdate);

function startInitialUpdate(event:Object)
{
updateMarkers();
}

_root.myMap.addEventListener("MAP_ERROR", mapErrorHandler);
_root.layer.addEventListener("LAYER_ERROR", mapErrorHandler);

_root.errorType = "";
_root.errorMessage = "";
_root.errorTarget = "";

function mapErrorHandler(event:Object)
{
trace(event.type);
trace(event.target);
trace(event.message);

_root.errorType = event.type;
_root.errorMessage = event.message;
_root.errorTarget = event.target;

}


Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance!
