RolloverWindow
Answer (Unmark)

Hi,

For some map markers I would like an information window to pop up at rollover instead of simply the marker title. Another way to describe it, is that I want the InfoWindow to be visible immediately at rollover.

As there is an object called RolloverWindow, it sounds like the thing I would use here. But the documentation is almost non-existent, so could you please tell me how to use one of these windows.

Here is how I did it.

 1                var poi4emoticonoi=new Poi(new LatLng(39.7503,-104.9972));
 2                poi4.rolloverAndInfoTitleText="4a";
 3                poi4.infoContent="quatro";
 4                poi4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onPoiMouseEvent);
 5                pois.add(poi4);
 6
 7...
 8
 9
10            private function onPoiMouseEvent(event:MouseEvent):void{
11                var thepoiemoticonoi=Poi(event.target);
12                thepoi.showInfoWindow();
13            }

Better yet (less code is always better)...

1poi4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,function onPoiMouseEvent(event:MouseEvent):void{(Poi(event.target)).showInfoWindow();});

Thanks Brian,

that would have been great, but there doesn't seem to be any hideInfoWindow() method:

1poi4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,onLeavePoi);
2
3private function onLeavePoi(event:MouseEvent):void{
4    var thepoi: Poi = Poi(event.target);
5    thepoi.hideInfoWindow();
6}


The user surely doesn't want to close the InfoWindow manually every time he happens to mouse-over a marker.

Here is my poi4 now.

1poi4=new Poi(new LatLng(39.7503,-104.9972));
2poi4.rolloverAndInfoTitleText="4";
3poi4.infoContent="quatro";
4poi4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,function(e:MouseEvent):void{(Poi(e.target)).showInfoWindow();});
5poi4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,function(e:MouseEvent):void{(Poi(e.target)).infoWindow.hide()});
6map.addShape(poi4);

Thanks Brian,

that seems to be working - I did not think of looking in the InfoWindow class for the hide() and show() methods.

However, it looks like I am the number one bugfinder at the moment - and I'm sorry to say, but I seem to have found another one. If you look at your example "POI with HTML InfoWindow" and click the Chicago marker to show the infowindow a couple of times, you will see that the size of the text changes to make it unreadable. The same thing happens with my infowindows. I guess the InfoWindow is using a TextArea or TextField object - is there any way to get access to it?

Yup, it looks like you are our top bug finder this week. Sorry, no prize besides glory, respect, and a little swagger in your step (Penguins of Madagascar). This has been forwarded on to the Flash development team.
