Yahoo Maps for Flex 2?

Question

I'm trying to do a little trial with Flex and the Yahoo Map
API but I'm getting no place. I'm assuming I've got the old
extension for Flex 1.5 but I'm not sure.
I see one of the derby winners used it so I'm assuming it
works in 2.0 now somehow.
I'm getting this error with this simple app and I do have the
YahooMap.swc file in my application root folder:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
YahooMap
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:yahoo="com.yahoo.maps.api.flex.*" xmlns:local="*" xmlns="*"
>
<yahoo:YahooMap id="myMap" width="550" height="400"
zoomLevel="3" latitude="37.77159" longitude="-122.401714"
initialize="onInitialize(event);" />
</mx:Application>
Thank you for the help.

Answer 1

I have also been trying, the answer I get from the Yahoo
folks is that they
do not, as of yet, have a version of the MAP API for Flex
2.0. I even
offered to help port it. No reply.
