Yahoo! Maps for ActionScript 3.0 Released

Yahoo released a new Yahoo! Maps API which is entirely built in ActionScript 3.0. This API now integrates a complex set of services and controls that you can leverage in your applications to create custom components, overlays and markers while consuming different webservices provided by Yahoo!, or your own.

The Maps API contains a core set of widgets, markers, overlays and web services to enable you to interact with the map in every way. At this point users can add event listeners, map controls and widgets and start interacting with the map.

Users can start by signing up for an API key. Then they download the component and check out the examples and class reference documentation.
