    - Tutorial Develop Flash Games For Messenger I have no idea if this is the right category to post this thread on, but I hope the forum admin will be kind enough to place it under the right category. I know the Activity SDK is allready very good, but I got stuck on a couple of issue's as it does not include information about using Flash Actionscript. For this reason I wrote a more detailed step-for-step tutorial on the basics of how to let Flash communicate with Windows Live/MSN Messenger to develop multiplayer games. Link: Tutorial I hope this tutorial is useful to some people, enjoy. Kind Regards, Mark van Wijnen Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - All of the sudden service timeouts, customer site now down Hi, Yu-Ting. Very low queries, not more than 200 a day currently. They are moderately involved queries, occasionally with several site: or linkfromdomain: parameters. Thanks for your response. Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - getQueryParameter of User Input block Thanks for the links there is a bug in the getQueryParameter code which would cause it to think there is no parameters even when there is. However that shouldn't cause the problem you are seeing, will get back to you after we've done some more investigation. Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - ReedCircleX.gif is not working anymore, how to fix, is there a new path? Hi, the RedCircle*.gif are tied to a specific version of the maps.live.com and to specific versions of the VE API. Direct access to this files are not supported and can go offline at anytime, thus breaking your site. My advice is to create your own numbered pushpins. It's relatively simple to do it. You just need a circle image, and use TextContent to add a number to it. Here's a site that shows you how to do it. http://blogs.msdn.com/keithkin/archive/2007/05/16/virtual-earth-api-creating-numbered-pushpins.aspx The example is for v5, but should work for v6 too.

    - VEPushpin.OnMouseOverCallback 'x' Value Inconsistency Yes you do need to consider the map offsets. var mapX = x - map.GetLeft(); var mapY = y - map.GetTop(); Also I find a need to attach to the window resize event and map.Resize() //set window events for map to run. if (window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent("onresize", MapResize); } else { window.addEventListener("resize", MapResize, false); } function MapResize() { if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) { //Non-IE mHeight = window.innerHeight; mWidth = window.innerWidth } else { //IE mHeight = document.body.clientHeight; mWidth = document.body.clientWidth; } if (mWidth < 240) //min width { mWidth = 240; } if (mHeight < 240) //min height { mHeight = 240; } map.Resize(mWidth, mHeight); } John.

    - Loop through all layers and then loop through all shapes in layer We are calling map.ImportShapeLayerData() several times to add multiple layers imported from a GeoRSS file. I am looking for a way to loop through all layers, and then for each layer, loop through all the shapes/pinpoints and retrieve the GeoRSS latitude and longitude coordinates and store them in an array. Any ideas on how to loop through every layer and then every shape in that layer Thanks! Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Question on Authentication PCHOU: Regarding the problem with the Windows Live ID SDK sample, there is a discussion forum specific to Windows Live ID ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=646&SiteID=1 ). You can post your question about the SDK sample there. The WL ID forum is monitored by the Windows Live ID team and they should be able to provide you with an answer.

    - Displaying pushpin to the map I'm am going to put something simple together to demonstrate this some day, until then check out this more complex example and ignore the clustering / encoding if its not required: http://www.soulsolutions.com.au/Articles/ClusteringVirtualEarthrev2/tabid/103/Default.aspx full source code is there to download and use. It uses a web service to exposure the data to the client javascript using ASP.NET AJAX as Brian suggested. Feel free to ask questions. John. Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - app name couldn't modification chinese I don't think there is a workaround for this, as it looks like we have to fix it in our product. Could you please let me know: 1. Why is a Chinese name is needed for the Activity app name What exactly is the scenario 2. Assuming that you can't use a English name for your activity name, when is the latest that you would need to have this functionality As you can imagine, we have competing priorities and it would be helpful to know where this one fits. Detailed answers to the above two questions will really help us out. Thank you! Gruia Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Facebook Issue There are some optional field which you don't normally need to fill in, so they shouldn't be causing this issue. I believe the only required fields are the name of the application and agreeing to the terms of service. The best solution for now might be too hold on a few weeks.

    - Address suggestions on custom input field You can definately disable the disambiguation box and fire up your own "suggestion" box. When you make your map.Find call you can pass in "false" to the "useDefaultDisambiguation" parameter. Then in your callback function (specified in your map.Find "callback" parameter) , you can check to see the number of results in the VEFindResult class array. If it has more than one result, then fire up your suggestion box. You can see everything in more detail here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429645(d=ide).aspx Hope that helps, Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Problems loading virtual earth. I have a url where I am loading virtual earth. The javascript is reading a xml file which contains a number of latitude and longitude co-ordinates. The problem is that it is taking ages for the internet browser to load the map. For each point i have a dot which is a gif to display the co-ordinate. The size of the gif is 248kb. I have 3500 points to display on the map. Is the problem because the size of all the points is too much for virtual earth to load or is it the size of the xml file Any help is much appreciated, Many Thanks, Sean Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - restrict max zoomlevel Correct. I'm not concerned about the dashboard as I have it turned off. I'm concerned about all forms of zoom: the mouse scroll wheel, double clicking the map, etc. What is needed in version.next is a cancel property of the onstartzoom event. I could then do this: map.AttachEvent( "onstartzoom" , mapStartZoom); function mapStartZoom(evt) { if (evt.requestedView.zoomLevel>11) { evt.cancel= true ; } } Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Any Windows Live Id SDK available for .NET Compact Framework? I guess I lied about "anyone" being able to write a version in an "afternoon". As it turns out the .NET CF has some specific things that need to be used in order for the XML/SOAP way of doing things to work. I have to stop making these claims!! Having said that, has anyone had any luck getting it to work with the .NET Compact Fraamework By the way, I did notice that the entry at https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb447721.aspx has been updated with C# code. That was great! There are still some issues porting it over to .NET CF. Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Any way to get post Title, URL, etc. from within a plugin? Now that one I don't know, although I'm pretty sure it can't be grabbed. The only part of the API that I know does deal with the post title is when doing a "Blog This" call to Live Writer and you actually set the title yourself. Other than that, I don't think it can be done. Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - SetCustomIcon and InfoBox in 3D Mode Ivo, There may be a bug in the VECustomIconSpecification constructor that prevents 3D icons from working. If you look in the API, the constructor doesn't do anything with the parameters being passed, and sets all the values inside to null. Here's exactly whats going on in the API for your reference: Code Snippet function VECustomIconSpecification(){this.Image=null; 8121 this.TextContent=null; 8122 this.CustomHTML=null; 8123 this.textFont="Arial"; 8124 this.TextBold=false; 8125 this.TextItalics=false; 8126 this.TextUnderline=false; 8127 this.TextSize=7; 8128 this.ImageOffset=null; 8129 this.TextOffset=null; 8130 this.ForeColor=null; 8131 this.BackColor=null; 8132 this.ImageWidth=-1; 8133 this.ImageHeight=-1} Currently the only way I am aware to stick on custom pin icons that work in 3D and 2D is to use the old V4 functionality to plot them on the map first. There was something similar discussed in a previous thread and a test page was put up that has pushpins working in 3D and 2D here: http://rcheli.dk/test.php In particular, you can execute a simple line like: var pin = new VEPushpin( pinID, null, iconpath, title, null, 'defaultPin', null ); map.AddPushpin(pin); where iconpath is the link to your icon. The pushpin functionality from V4 is still in V5 strangely. Regards, Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Can I publish a Popfly project as a Facebook app? Dan's blog entry ( http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2007/05/24/microsoft-facebook-partnership.aspx ) suggests that I can but I don't see how . I was kinda expecting that once I'd created and published my project there'd be a 'Add to Facebook' link alongside 'Download as gadget' & 'Add to Windows Live Spaces'. Evidently not. What am I missing Thanks Jamie Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

    - Pin Attributes Hi, Thanks to this forum I have now been able to generate a click event on a pin. I have even got the background to cahnge colour when it is clicked. I would now like to detect what the background is for the clicked pin so I can reset it, The concept is to show a selected pin and then being able to unselect it. so far I have function EventHandlerOnClick(e) { if (e!= null ) { document.getElementById(e.currentTarget.id + "_" + map.GUID).onmouseover(); } else { var pointcolour = 'blank' ; // I want to get the current back ground style here pointcolour == document.getElementById(window. event .srcElement.id).style.backgroundColor alert(pointcolour); // I get "blank" all the time here if (pointcolour== 'yellow' ) { alert( "background is yellow" ); } else { alert( "turning piont yellow" ); //This turns the background yellow document.getElementById(window. event .srcElement.id).style.backgroundColor= "yellow" ; }; // get the ID of a point alert( "window.event.srcElement.id=" + document.getElementById(window. event .srcElement.id).id) } } Can anyone see what I am doing wrong TIA Martin Tag: How to show pushpin popup on button click

You need to look at ShowInfoBox:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412501.aspx

This allows you to show a popup from any event
