Tracy:
The flex code that generates the map is;
<yahoo:YahooMapService id="myAS2Map"
UUID="{parentApplication.intMapIdentifier}" swfDomId="{SWFDOMID}"
apiId="{YAHOOAPIKEY}" mapURL="{MAPSWF}" width="600" height="400"
scaleContent="false" />
and associated methods that are called. The Yahoo urls are buried in
the Yahoo code. How do I force these client side calls to use the
proxyserver?
