    Aha! There's my problem. Just using a sprite instead of Flex piece worked. Rather than try to get a Flex peice to work, I think I'll just put some logic in the sprite.

    An earlier response had a lot of stuff about having to write and attach your own marker-clip, etc, which no longer seems to be the case and makes me happy.

    I don't know how much I can contribute to the Flex package (still getting my feet wet with Flex) but if I can contribute something I will!

    Adding markers in Flex
    I'm working with the Subversion Trunk (r 719) and Flex 3 / AS3, trying to implement markers on a custom map. My markers aren't showing up, though. If I trace out the coordinate of the marker, it claims to be at position (0,-0.05) (that's absolute x,y coordinates, not Lat/Long).

    I've looked through the Flex resources here and some of the answers are very old, others I can almost make sense out of.

    So what should I be thinking about for attaching markers to a map in Flex? It doesn't appear to be as simple as:


    var tmarker:MapMarker = new MapMarker();
    tmarker.name="marker01";
    campusMap.map.putMarker(new Location(1.2,1.99),tmarker);
    trace(":::" + " " + tmarker.x + "," + tmarker.y);


    (MapMarker is my own component, based on mx:Button)
