Google Routing Widget for the Flexviewer

[andrewj_ca]

I've just posted a widget for leveraging Google's directions api.  Download and enjoy, both compiled and uncompiled versions have been supplied.  I've posted version 1 of the widget to get some comments and maybe see what additional functionality people may want.  I have my own ideas but I'd like to get some feedback.  Please remember to rate the widget if you like what you see.

When you can access the URL directly but not from a flash application, it is usually due to either a missing crossdomain.xml file, or it's not configured to allow your flash application access.

In this case, look at http://www.geosmartniagara.ca/crossdomain.xml and you'll notice that it only allows access for applications hosted on cogeco.ca.  What's the URL for your application?
<allow-access-from domain="*.cogeco.ca"/>

You won't be able to use my proxy service.  I included a asp.net proxy service, "googleproxy", with the download.

Andrew and Bjorn, thank you very much for your help. I was missing the crossdomain.xml so I created a file from Andrews and placed it inside my google proxy service. I refreshed my IIS and added in the "http://gkbz/googleproxy/Service.asmx?WSDL" as my proxzy url service and it works perfectly.

Thanks again for a great app, Andrew!

Thanks Mike Don't forget to rate it. I will have an update after I get a few more comments.  I do have zoom to route working.  I will be adding from and to points and tooltips along the route.

Hi Andrew, I have a question. I got the widget to work on Wednesday afternoon and when I opened up the website on Thursday morning the widget no longer works. It is giving me the following error message: "Google could not generate a route".

I did not make any changes to the xml or proxy service.  Have you ever run into this problem before? 

Please feel free to email at michael.garza2@sanantonio.gov

Thank you
Mike

I can download the GoogleRouting and the compiled version works great standalone.
I tried adding the Compiled Version to my FlexViewer 2.4 compiled version and the Google Routing won't execute. I have the googleProxy out there and created it in IIS. I copied the GoogleRoutingWidget into my widgets folder and updated my server name as described. I copied the two supplied images into assets/images.
Any ideas?
