Thank goodness. Yahoo has finally ported their map application over to Flex 3 ( AS3 ). This means a lot of great things, starting with speed. They can now get the speed improvements from the display model and other enhancements in the new virtual machine. Second, I can quit going back to klunky AS2 code whenever I have to put together some sort of interactive map. ...

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet but it should work pretty well. If not, I'm sure I can find some workarounds :) I'm looking forward to a more robust mapping API/Component that has less of the wierd bugs that you can only get with the old actionscript virtual machine.

But what will the possible Microsoft buyout do to this?
