MAP Web Author JavaScript API

Getting going with using the API is easy.

Step 1: Export your map to web from MAPublisher. Ensure that you set the "Flash Player Security Sandbox" setting to "NETWORK".

Step 2: Add the folder that you exported your map to the list of trusted sites for Flash Player here.

Step 3: Start coding! The default html page generated for your map already contains the script elements needed to use the API.

<script type="text/javascript" src="index_data/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_data/avenza.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	AVENZA.embedViewer("map", "792", "612", 
		{
			baseURL:"index_data/",
			flashSecuritySandbox: AVENZA.NETWORK_SANDBOX
		}
	);
</script>
		

All you need to do is take the object reference returned by AVENZA.embedViewer and start calling methods on it.

	var theMap = AVENZA.embedViewer("map", "792", "612", 
		{
			baseURL:"index_data/",
			flashSecuritySandbox: AVENZA.NETWORK_SANDBOX
		}
	);
	
	// zoom in the viewer!
	theMap.zoomIn();
