Flash – Googlemaps Mask Bug
I just found a bug in Googlemaps’ Flash component.
BUG: When a mask is used over the map component, the copyright and MapTypeControls Fonts (possibly other control fonts) are hidden. The buttons still work.
Originally, the map itself didn’t have a mask, but was imported into a wrapper banner ad that had the mask – same issue. It took a while to isolate what the issue was. Hope this helps someone out. I’m posting images to showcase it:
googlemaps_bug_wo_mask
googlemaps_bug_w_mask
Instead of using timeline, just use actionscript:
map.mask = mapMask;
