[Laszlo-dev] I got Google map component working in swf9

[Antun Karlovac]

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your help on this. I extended the example to include 
geocoding an address using OL datasets, and passing information to/from 
the map component. Instructions are here:

Did I link to the right web site for you (beartronics.com)?

Thanks,

Antun
