Hi All, I was just googleing the "asfunction" and found this link
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html See that asfunction is not supported in Action Script 3.0 and the Flex 2.0 is using Flash 9 which in turn using AS3 so i think its not that straight forward to write asfunction and handling the event.. Although yahoo map component is written in as2 but we are consuming it in as3.. My instinct says that there will be some other way that we can handle the link click event.. Working on it..
