August 13th, 2007 / air, flex, pv3d / 5 comments

I’ve updated the sources and installation file of the Google 3D Map Application made with Adobe Apollo to the latest Adobe AIR version. People who requested it — you can now download the sources and Google 3D Map 0.3 AIR Installation File.

New features:

- Map scrolling made much more smooth. Just smooth.
- Mouse wheel support: wheel to zoom camera in/out, Shift + Wheel to move camera above the horizon.
- Now uses native AIR chrome.

To run this version Google 3D Map, you need Adobe AIR Runtime Beta 1 - latest release at the moment.

Also, there’s some changes in the application.xml file. Read the good tips on migrating here: Re: Apollo to AIR migration topic at the codeapollo.com forums.

Apollo is free from some limitations of regular Flash Player; for example, with Apollo’s HTML componente you able to load something from the web and to operate with it in any way, without necessity to care about all those annoyuing crossdomain policy files.

For example, you can take Google Maps, place it on the 3D plane or sphere, keeping the interactivity of dragging the map (you needed Apollo Runtime for have this example working):

I’m truly intrigued with Adobe Apollo…
