I second Stefan Richter’s request of a crossdomain file to unable us to use BitmapData with the tiles.

While Josh’s post on hacking the Flex component is useful, I would very much like an official Flash CS3 component. Is there any update you could give on it?

Great API. I’m having a little difficulty with one thing: I’m using localSearch, and it’s returning LocalSearchResults objects with title, address etc., which is great, but it seems that both “id” and “resultURL” are always null. What I really want is to get (or make) a URL that maps the particular location this search result indicates, so it can be included as a link in an email. Any ideas how to do that? It seems like it should be easy…

André and Duncan, I had that problem as well. Adding this call to my close() method (called when the TitleWindow is closed) seemed to fix the issue.

yahooMap.removePanControl();

Hopefully the next update will include a bug fix for the removeAllMarkers() method in markerManager. Currently it’s indexed improperly and doesn’t work.

RE:handleMouseLeave.
I get the same problem. There doesn’t seem to be anyway to de-initialize the map and after removing from the stage it is still listening for events, possibly from the stage itself.

I use the Yahoo Map in a Flex 3 Title Window. When that window is closed and the mouse cursor moves outside the browser main window this error shows up:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.yahoo.maps.api.controls::PanControl/handleMouseLeave()[/Users/zachg/Documents/yahoomaps/YahooMap/src/com/yahoo/maps/api/controls/PanControl.as:223]

What am i doing wrong here? Do i need some finalization code?

That’s amazing work, I really hope that a project with that much programming doesn’t fall victim in being a CPU cycle hog. Again, very innovative!

Please please please could you set your servers up in such a way that we can take bitmapdata snapshots of your maps in Fleash/Flex?

Thanks for considering it.
