Have you looked at mvc 3. This is far superior to anything. You have complete encapsulation of everything. The huge benifit of c# is it is used in programming a desktop app or web app or silverlight. It isn't a one compiler compiles all its a one language fits all compliers. Plus you can use

I am in a similar boat with some clients that utilizing the flash API, I was fortunate enough to tell them they would need to switch to javascript in the future. While it would take some work, I could move to another flash based API within the application. If the client is blaming you for

It doesn't, you just can't use any of the functions to capture map imagery as a bitmap (bitmapdata or imagesnapshot for instance). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps API For Flash group. To view this discussion on the web visit

The problem is that if there is a flash component it is not going to work on mobile devices, and this is very important. I highly recommend reading this post by Mike Chambers (he is a flash engineer at Adobe) http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2011/11/10/flash-professional-and-the-future/ --

I didn't lose any clients. I'm just explaining how the method that they used to depreciate the map was horrific and I am sure it will affect many relationships with clients. You can't blame a client that paid $10,000 to get an application built that only works for a few years before it needs to be

That's where I'm headed. Hopefully I can repurpose the code to take advantage of some of the hard-won functionality I've built - such as an empirical function that maps a scale derived from the screen coordinates of an arbitrary bounding box to a Google map scale. Or the Gudermannian function

It uses c# but asp.nets mvc3 is pretty useful. It maybe a good option if your not in a huge hurry. It would take about a week to get a hang of it but it offers more than using flash. You can access your data no matter what type it is(sql xml collections) using the exact same code with the entity

In order to tile a snapshot you would have to at some point load images from their server, regardless of if you're using any api or not they will know where their images are being loaded from. If there images are being loaded from a source that is also not registering any kind of API, they

I understand you are angry about them depreciating the flash api, but 2 years is a long time in technology. I am sure you can find some angry cobalt developers. Also I don't know where this illusion about microsoft comes from, they have dumped tons of projects, want to talk about a sinking
