Yahoo launches new Flash Blog and new Flash and Flex Libraries
Well this will probably be my last posting that announces something my team (Yahoo! Flash Platform) at Yahoo has launched. From now on it will be my former team as I am leaving to work for Disney on Friday. This week we launched three very exciting things. The new Yahoo! Flash Platform blog (http://www.yswfblog.com), the new and improved Yahoo! Flash Development Center (http://developer.yahoo.com/flash) and our new Astra Flash Components. The Astra Library is our collection of Flash and Flex components, libraries and toolkits. In this inaugural release, ASTRA contains five UI components that complement the existing set provided with Flash CS3. The new UI components are: Tree, Menu, TabBar, AutoComplete, and Charts. ASTRA is open-source under the BSD license, and follows an approach similar to the very popular YUI Library. Keep an eye on the ASTRA library, I know first hand that there are some very cool things to come.

Thanks for the hard work you did on these components! I can’t wait to download them and play around with them.

Hi
You and your former team really did a great job, i’m using yahoo maps and i’m loving it but i have some doubts that i’d like to ask for your help.
1st - How do we do to make the same functionality that yahoo has on their maps in a way that when we search for instance restaurants and the result comes we roll over the items and those are show on the map, expanding their POI. I’ve searched but there isn’t any roll ever event that can trigger that.
2nd- Why do we have to remove all the marrkers on the map? why can’t we remove only the ones we want?
