Hello Chief !
Well, I fixed the problem and it came back sometimes so I'm not really sure where it's coming from too. I was adding the MarkerClip as a child of the map object, I changed that so it was added to the stage of my class, and the problem was fixed. Then, pursuing the dev of my stuff I had some bugs while I removed some children from my stage (non-MM related), using a try... catch to avoid it, I re-fixed the bug... But no it's not coming from the object I'm attaching to my MarkerClip as it only contains a single shape. I'll keep you in touch as soon as I find precisely where it comes from (an inside bug of mine or a problem with MM). Cheers.

Hello. Just download the sources via subversion http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/tr... and use the publish settings panel (File >> publish settings >> Flash >> settings >> source path) of the flash IDE to add your downloaded folder. You can also use the .swc that come with the downloaded source. In this case, add the .swc to you library path instead of the source path panel.

Alright I continue to respond my own post...
And I answer to it ! Yes i'ts possible...

1- in MarkerClip, add listeners and callbacks
protected function onMarkerUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
var marker:DisplayObject = event.target as DisplayObject;
var location:Location = getMarkerLocation(marker);
dispatchEvent(new MarkerEvent(MarkerEvent.MARKER_UP, marker, location, event.localX, event.localY, true));
}

protected function onMarkerDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var marker:DisplayObject = event.target as DisplayObject;
var location:Location = getMarkerLocation(marker);
dispatchEvent(new MarkerEvent(MarkerEvent.MARKER_DOWN, marker, location, event.localX, event.localY, true));
}

2- updates MarkerEvent (forget the IDestroyable Interface, Destroyable object, and destroy method, they came from casalib). I also extend from MouseEvent so I super localX and localY.

package com.modestmaps.events {
import com.modestmaps.geo.Location;

import org.casalib.core.Destroyable;
import org.casalib.core.IDestroyable;

import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class MarkerEvent extends MouseEvent implements IDestroyable {
// these are prefixed marker to avoid conflicts with MouseEvent
public static const MARKER_ROLL_OVER:String = 'markerRollOver';
public static const MARKER_ROLL_OUT:String = 'markerRollOut';
public static const MARKER_CLICK:String = 'markerClick';
public static const MARKER_DOWN:String = 'markerDown';
public static const MARKER_UP:String = 'markerUp';

protected var _marker:DisplayObject;
protected var _location:Location;
protected var _localX:Number;
protected var _localY:Number;

private var destroyable:Destroyable;

public function MarkerEvent(type:String, marker:DisplayObject, location:Location, localX:Number = 0, localY:Number = 0, bubbles:Boolean = true, cancelable:Boolean = false) {
super(type, bubbles, cancelable, localX, localY);
_marker = marker;
_location = location;
destroyable = new Destroyable();
}

public function get marker():DisplayObject {
return _marker;
}

public function get location():Location {
return _location;
}

public function get destroyed():Boolean {
return destroyable.destroyed;
}

public function destroy():void {
_marker = null;
_location = null;
destroyable.destroy();
}
}
}

3 back on your main class (Map + MarkerClip + MarkerEvent) I do a simple switch case ;

var pin:Pin = $evt.marker;

case MarkerEvent.MARKER_UP :
pin.stopDrag();
trace($evt.localX, $evt.localY);
var p:Point = new Point(mouseX - $evt.localX, mouseY - $evt.localY);
var loc:Location = minimap.pointLocation(p);
mrk.setMarkerLocation(pin, new Location(loc.lat, loc.lon));
mrk.updateClip(pin);
break;

You're good to go !

But I'm still stuck... Well in fact it works pretty well excepting the fact that the markers display updates accordingly to the new location only once I panned then released the map, which seems to be a recurrent issue for others (apparently due to a Event.RENDER we need to call somewhere with stage.invalidate() or dirty = true). Well I tried a lot and I could not find the way to fix it. I did not change a lot in MarkerClip.as, I just add a MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN listener and the callback looks simple ;

private function onMarkerMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
stopDrag();
var marker:DisplayObject = event.target as DisplayObject;
updateLocation(marker);
}

still, the problem remains...

WHO ! I'm sorry to use your time for the previous crap I wrote, I was just NOT using the modified sources when compiling in Flash (while I was coding in FDT with modified sources, so no errors was shawn)...

Sorry Sorry sorry...

Hi and thanks for the answer. I'm actually in a big rush so I reused the trunk to handle the mouse wheel and I can't say what precisely what was the errors but I can assure you that my FDT pukes me a lot. (probably due to the CDATA stuffs). Anyway...
I'm not sure that my second problem needs a new topic because it might not come with modestmaps but with SWFobject. I have a full flash problem when I used a full map (map.setSize(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);). I have a blank swf (not only a blank map) when I embed my movie like this;
var flashvars = {};
var params = {menu:"false", quality:"best", allowFullScreen:"true", AllowScriptAccess:"always"};
var attributes = {id:"movie"};
swfobject.embedSWF("Movie.swf", "swfContent", "100%", "100%", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
swfmacmousewheel.registerObject(attributes.id);

I can't get it, but it I can set a big map with pixels values, even bigger than my screen resolution and there is no problem. I can also set a map to 100% and n pixels (or the opposite), but not to 100% * 100%.

As I say, I've a lot of work and I'll try to figure out what the problem came from.

Cheers.
