Daaave started following the idea "modestmaps as texture on 3d globe" in Modest Maps.

thanks for your answer
Exactly what i thought ...
Our use of markers is intense : we used to plot over 300 markers at the same time. (sometimes we riched 600 markers).
MarkerClip10 will be usefull for us. I will try to implement this kind of marker clip and give you feedback.

Daaave started following the question "How to have a loading bar for ModestMap?" in Modest Maps.

You can do everything ...
I give you my sample :
i plot some boat on map. I take the boat length and use a pixel ratio (calculated with Distance tools : check the scalebar component in modestmap)
in order to change pixel height of boats ...

Use flash 10 upgrades to increase perf ?

For example use Vector which seams to be much more performant on for, for each loop ?

I also give you my big thanks for your component which is for us the best we tried.
Thanks a lot !!

I tried to change the function doneMouseWheeling(..) as :

if (mouseWheelingIn) {
//zoomByAbout(Math.ceil(grid.zoomLevel) - grid.zoomLevel, p, 0.15); // round off to whole value up
zoomByAbout(grid.zoomLevel - Math.floor(grid.zoomLevel), p, 0.15);
}

This will ask to exact zoom and not the rounded values ...

But somewhere else it is rouded again because the zoom start and than go back to the previous value ...
erf ...

Is it possible to zoom (wheel) with a lower zoom factor.

Is it possible to zoom (wheel) with a lower zoom factor.
In modest map when you use mouse wheel the default low zoom factor is 1.
for example one delta with mouse cause the zoom level to be changed like this :
5 to 6.
Is it possible to have a 0.5 step by mouse delta for example.

I tried with the roundscales disabled but it doesn't work.

I'am using tweenMap (gs).

regards.

Daaave reported a problem in Modest Maps on February 23, 2009 18:55:

Use of transparency in WMS provider cause strange result

I m using modest from latest trunk version
I use it in Flex framework with uicomponent

I also put a WMSProvider in which i add "transparent : true" property with png format.

When i use zoom (mousewheel) not all tiles are refreshed some are stilled zoomed and i have to click on map to set them clear.

when i set the transparent property to false the problem disapear and things go fine.

you also can use tween map instead of map (in map component)
You will need to update the way you call zoom ... center ... pan
in commitProperties() function.

This fix (calling onRender on every EXTENT_CHANGED) cause another problem : stackoverflow on onRender() call if you use the wheel zoom ...

Does someone plan to fix with redraw and forceRedraw ?
I'd like to do this but i'm not very friendly with modesmap code.

I'm using modestmap with flex in r&d project for my company.
