Y! Q2/07 Hack Day

Today Yahoo! released the AS3 version of their maps API. They also released the hack that Jon and I worked on back in Q2. Check it out, and if you don't have Flash9 and refuse to upgrade, you can try spinning and flicking your iPhone to simulate it*. You almost get the same effect.

*You assume full responsibility for any damages done to your iPhone.

Hey guys, you can try using the 'smoothing' property on the loaded bitmap files (the map tiles), it will make it look much better once they are rotated!

That is a good idea. ;-)

We tried to do that at one point but didn't have access to the image data. It may be possible now but didn't make it into our last version.

Cheers,
Ben
