[flexcoders] Re: Yahoo Maps AS3 integration problem
I am revisiting this problem since I had the need/opportunity to
actuall install a proxy server for a different project.
I now am semi competent in creating my own personal proxy server,
and would like to know if someone out there has been able to
redirect the url's generated in the as2map.swf to a proxy server?
All help would be appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Yahoo Maps AS3 integration problem
Yes, you are right, the methodology I use would probably not work for
that. I came in late on this thread. I went back and reviews the
earlier posts, and that is a tough one. Yahoo does have crossdomain
files on the servers for the main map functionality, maybe they just
missed this.
There is a mailing list devoted to the Yahoo services, perhaps the will
be able to help there. I have seen the Yahoo developers responding.
OTHO, perhaps a "real" proxy would work.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Yahoo Maps AS3 integration problem
Since I almost always have some business logic to perform on the server
for any data service call, if only to log it, I just make all calls
through an asp.net back-end (I use vb.net also) It is not a true
"proxy", I don't attempt to redirect urls, but rather use HTTPService to
post name=value pairs from Flex to the server. On of the pairs is
"action=whatever" which tells the back end how to handle the request,
through a Select Case.
I then make my WebService or XMLHTTP call or do my business logic, then
wrap the result in an xml root node (with status/error info) and return
it to the Flex client.
Visual Studio's Web Service proxy generation and debugging make
consuming webservices very easy, and I don't ever have any crossdomain
issues.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Yahoo Maps AS3 integration problem
crossdomain.xml on Yahoo! img servers doesn't allow all domains except
Yahoo! servers..
As someone pointed out above, proxy is other option but you might need to
change Yahoo! AS3 map's code so that it loads images via proxy...Be careful,
it's gonna eat a lot of bandwidth and if your site is really traffic
intensive with not many servers/load-balancing, user-experience might be
slow.

I put the following in both the AS file that does the BitmapData/Draw
() as well as the module that renders the map;
Security.loadPolicyFile('http://us.maps1.yimg.com/crossdomain.xml');
I believe the problem is on the yahoo side since their
crossdomain.xml file contains;

Re: [flexcoders] Re: yahoo maps "CustomSWFMarker"
Thanks, it did help, in order to load custom markers with click events this is
now my attempt
What I am now trying to do is load custom markers, once the user clicks on it,
it's a method inside the loaded swf marker that loads the image...but I need to
pass the image location to the loaded swf.. once it's loaded... This is what I
have so far:
I added an event listener :
mapEventDispatcher.addEventListener('addSWFMarkerByAddress_Result',
onSWFMarkerAdded);
Then similar to what you have:
latLonController.addMarkerByLatLon('CustomSWFMarker',44,
-80,{url:'customMarker.swf', ref:'myMark'});
Then the event function:
private function onSWFMarkerAdded(ev:Object):void {
Alert.show(ev.lastResult, 'Title');
//shows nothing...
}
All works great, the event fires when the markers are added BUT from what I
gather the event object "ev" has 2 params: event type and a reference id. I do
not know however what the actual param names areAnd for some reason my
Flexbuilder hangs while the map is loading ( I am uing the yahoo as3 connection
kit) in debug mode.. I cannot go see the names..
So now, I am trying to figure out how I am going to pass the data to the loaded
swf :(
Perhaps this is the wrong approach, but I am learning! :)
thanks in advance for any help!

I actually am having the same documentation issues, but this might
help you:
latLonController. addMarkerByLatLo n('CustomPOIMark er',dp[i] .lat,
dp[i].lon,{index: index,title: dp[i].shortName, description:
description, markerColor: Number('0x3366CC' ), strokeColor:
Number('0xCEE9FF' )});
Basically, it uses the latLonController to add CustomPOIMarker.
Problem is, the response will not give you a reference. I hacked
around it using the title of the marker as an index to the data array.
Hope that helps,
