Google Streetview to open in a Widget Window instead of a Popup

BrendanCunningham — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:08:25 GMT

Hi,
I have successfully added the Google Streetview Widget to the Sample Flex Viewer, where the Streetview opens in a new Window. All is working well, but i'm not 100% satisfied about opening new windows from the application. Ideally I would like to keep the Streetview footage inside the Widget Menu.

For those who know the widget layout, there is a "Reactivate" button and little else. I would like the Streetview to open up inside this widget, under the Reactivate button.

I'm not entirely sure how to go about this so I'm asking if anyone has gone down this road. I have attached a screenshot of what i am hoping to add to the Sample Flex Viewer! the idea would be that a User can click on the top right to enlarge the Streetview image anyway.

All help greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
Brendan

Brendan,

This would be possible using something like Flex iFrame but if I remember correctly the issue is more a violation of the google api usage. I vaguely recall that the Streetview had to be opened in a separate window than your application to be compliant.

Hi Robert,
Ahhhhhhh, good old Google T&C.
Thanks for the heads up about that. There is nothing wrong with the popup, I thought an embedded version would just look better. Thanks a lot for the code too, really appreciated.

Take a look at this:

Should be code in the app to show you how to use the IFrame. Key component in directions is to set the wmode = direct, if you don't you will loose the roller wheel on your mouse in firefox.

Hope it helps,
Frank
