ActionScript Y!
Yahoo makes me think of an impressive forward thinking genius that can’t seem to make ends meet. They make great stuff like Yahoo Mail, Yahoo APIs, and the YUI Library and do such good things to benefit and educate the development community, but its so hard to watch them struggle to keep going.
This entry is about improving your Flash/ActionScript 3 by using Yahoo APIs. Its one thing to sit down and read about arrays, strings, methods, and all that other programming stuff but take time to have fun playing with some of the Yahoo stuff.
The community is full of downloadable demos to play with and you’ll definitely get better at parsing data and manipulating code. The Yahoo Maps API is a good start because the basic code is given to you. I’m sure we’ve all had clients that have asked for a Google map on their contact page, but with the Yahoo Maps API, you can customize your own markers, display multiple addresses, and improve at ActionScript 3.
