Nope.  Understand that Flash Player 8 has a lot of bitmap API's that could work great for mapping applications; none of which were utilized in Yahoo Maps v1.  Combined with Flash Player 8.5's ability to close an active, open connection, and suddenly you have the opportunity to make Yahoo Maps really good.   So, my guess is based on what I've read via their job postings is they'll release a Flex 2 .SWC when Flex 2 is released.   ----- Original Message ----- From: judah To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 9:57 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2 It sounds like you are saying they are making a Flex 2 loader that will load Flash 7, 8 and Flex 1.5 swfs. Is that what you mean? Judah JesterXL wrote: Agreed. We all tried to actually create a Yahoo Maps SWF in Flash 8, and then load the SWF into a Flex 2 Loader (component or flash intrinsic class), but no dice. They are making one though, so maybe if we bitch more, they'll make it come out faster! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harris Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 12:56 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2 Thanks for the reply Jester... that stinks that things like the Yahoo Maps component can not be imported into Flex 2. I tried importing the SWC directly *and* creating a new SWC with the MXP and obviously didn't have any luck with either approach. I am sure support from Yahoo will be coming in the future, but it would be nice to have it now!

Flex 1, Flex 1.5, Flash MX 2004, and Flash 8 SWC's will not work in Flex 2 Beta 2 projects. That's because Flex 2 Beta 2 utilizes ActionScript 3 and the Flash Player 8.5 whereas the others do not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harris Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 11:30 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2 Has anyone had success importing a 3rd party SWC into a Flex 2 Beta 2 project? I have tried two different components and each time I get the following error: "unable to load SWC componentnamehere.swc: unknown element swc found in componentPackage section in catalog.xml." Does anything special need to be done to the SWC to make it compatible with Flex 2? thanks, ~harris -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders% 40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
