Given that the current adobe AS3 components are missing several key ones from the AS2 set, the work done here will surely be appreciated by many flash developers wishing to developer powerful RIA's with flash CS3. I'm currently working on an AS3 project which requires an Accordion. If no work has already been done in ASTRA to build a flash AS3 Accordion, I intend to build one myself. I'd be happy to contribute it to the ASTRA library once it's complete. In the same spirit as ASTRA, it will be full-featured and completely consistent with the current Adobe CS3 components. If you accept outside contributions of this nature, please let me know the best person to contact to discuss this. In case you're wondering, I'm a senior developer with 8 years experience using flash right back to version 4 and I'm fully conversant in AS2/AS3 and OOP best practices. Thanks Dan Hi,

The polylineOverlay example draws lines using an .xml file. Is there a different function I should use to draw lines on-the-fly? Or is there an undocumented way to send an array of points to the polylineOverlay? Thanks, Rob In a Flex2/AS3 route mapping application I need to draw lines as I click and place POI markers.

I'm working with yahoo maps api and flex 2 . I'd like to make a draggable marker, the idea is to let my users select a place dragging the marker and cliking on the map, just like Google Maps let us do. So i've notice that with the new ASTRA we don't have access to marker class and as far as i can see there's no way on doing this easy. So please i need an example on how to make a custom swf , yes i know that's the way, but i need to see how to connect my actionscript 3 code with an swf made with as2,or better, can i do it with as3 ? thanks Hi

Randy, I also noticed similar problems with the Maps examples when I was rebuilding them for the current release. As far as I know, those issues have been cleared up. As Allen mentioned, make sure that you embed the SWF in an HTML page (it requires ExternalInterface) and that the id for the embedded element matches the swfDomId set in the MXML.

The accessibility of the components isn't perfect, but we're working on making it better. With the current release, a screen reader should at least say something about each component, if not the perfect description. Keyboard navigation should work fine. We ran into some difficulties building full "accessibility implementations" like those the official Adobe components use. This area is severely undocumented, and we've requested some more detailed information from Adobe. We definitely understand the need for accessible components, and we're working hard to learn all the requirements and perfect them as best we can. Josh Tynjala Yahoo!
