There seems to be a problem with your xml. When I tried to browse to the xml
file your referencing, I got an error.
I've never used this method, so I'm not sure if it's normal. My hunch is if you
can fix the following error it might work properly.

  2. only one group ID is appearing.  Yet I have about 6 different

I am developing mobile program which uses the yahoo web Image services. The
program basically try to retrieve the Image file from the web services. I
established a REST request as following:
  
http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/mapImage?appid=YahooDemo&street=70\
1+First+Avenue&city=Sunnyvale&state=CA

   And it returns this result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Result xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

http://img.maps.yahoo.com/mapimage?MAPDATA=eJz6K.d6wXVM6myr2yRPfx6.kl.uMGgD3Tu4J\

sh3Ipsr

</Result>


   This result contains the URL for the Image file. When I try to connect to
retrieve the image file using Http request, the server do not give me the Image
that I want. But when I try to retrieve the image from the normal browser like
Explorer I browse the Image file without any problem.

   The Code for retrieving the Image is as following:

   url
=”http://img.maps.yahoo.com/mapimage?MAPDATA=MhQFRud6wXV2pfieooMGW6MwV9h9Q7Dn.Fv\

                   hc = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
                   int length = (int)hc.getLength();
                   byte[] data = null;

                   if (length != -1) {
                      data = new byte[length];
                      in = new DataInputStream(hc.openInputStream());
                      in.readFully(data);
                    }
                   else {
                       // If content length is not given, read in chunks.
                      int chunkSize = 512;
                      int index = 0;
                      int readLength = 0;
                      in = new DataInputStream(hc.openInputStream());
                      data = new byte[chunkSize];
                      do {
                         if (data.length < index + chunkSize) {
                           byte[] newData = new byte[index + chunkSize];
                           System.arraycopy(data, 0, newData, 0, data.length);
                           data = newData;
                         }
                         readLength = in.read(data, index, chunkSize);
                         index += readLength;
                       } while (readLength == chunkSize);
                      length = index;
                     }

   This Code is not getting the file, when I try to retreive any other image from
the local server it works fine.

    Can any one help ?

hi,

I've started to do a number of mapping mash-ups and I am at a stage
where I need to decode(geocode) Australian street addreses.
Early attempts with google and Yahoo standard codes fail.
Eg. http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=YahooDemo
<http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=YahooDemo&stree
t=6+Coral+Gables+Key&city=Gold+Coast&state=QLD&country=Australia>
&street=6+Coral+Gables+Key&city=Gold+Coast&state=QLD&country=Australia
I know it is possible because the guys at
http://www.batchgeocode.com/lookup/ are doing it. ( ie it works for
Aussie addresses)
Can anyone help?

Hi Elena,



That's a very good point.  In our last documentation push, we forgot to
update the code samples to point to the latest version, but that will be
fixed with the next doc push.

Which version of the flash player are you running?  Flash 7 is only capable
of loading swfs and jpegs.  Flash 8 and above can load pngs.

Just want to make sure I'm not going crazy, but could anyone else get this
to work?

I'm passing imagePath to a marker and for some reason if the image is a PNG
it doesn't show
up, but JPEG shows up fine.

does the following also account for CustomSWFMarker. It doesn't really make
sense since it is
an external swf that importing an external PNG, so i would think that it is
independent of the
Yahoo API

CustomImageMarker (url)
Lets you to add a custom image to the map surface at a specific position.
Currently, images
may only be SWF files or non-progressive JPEGs.

You could do a comparison with the stored tool variables to determine which
one it is..  kind of like this:



var panTool = new PanTool();

map.addTool(panTool, true)



var activeTool = map.getActiveTool();



if (activeTool == panTool) {

             trace("The PanTool is active");

}

If I have some code like this:

HOW do I access the NAME of the tool object I just pulled? I've tried:
"WhichTool.tool" with no luck.

When I trace the variable trace(WhichTool) I get back [object]
[object] which of course I know is the tool object, but how do you
determine what the tool object consists of if the API doesn't talk
about it?

For a starters I took one of the examples on the JS Flash and uploaded

It should work just fine in Flash 8.  Try re-installing the component,
restarting Flash, and then dragging the component from your components panel
into your library.  If you get a dialog, select the option to "replace all".
Let us know if that works.

FWIW I am seeing the same thing, and also see the same behaviour if I
try to reload the markers as I drag the map around.... looks like I
will be trying the GeoRSS approach to see if that way of bulkloading
markers somehow gets rid of the overhead... did you have any luck

http://www.unistardesign.com/map/manymarkers.php is a demo page to
illustrate the behaviour. Click the <Plot Markers> button to add the
markers to the map - then with 200 added there are a couple of things
to look at

1) if you "refresh" the screen, IE pauses for 10+ seconds before the
refresh executes... (if you refresh with no markers in the map the
refresh occurs immediately

2) if you display 200 markers, then replot 200 more markers (the
pages calls map.removeAllMarkers() prior to redisplay) there is a
noticeable pause prior to each redisplay.. it is very slow and
similar slow in time to the behaviour in #1 above.

-- in addition this demo file also illustrates another problem that
starts to show up - which is after about 3 cycles of displaying
markers and removing them I start to get Interner Explorer warnings
a "slow script"  (which means that we are hitting the max number of
statements for a page)

Note: I have used setTimeout() to help speed up the display process
(and that seems to work) however the behavior of slow browser
response following a large number of markers is consistent whether
there setTimeout is used.. or not.

Greetings - This is my first attempt at yahoo Maps and because of
time-constraints, I thought about asking for help first.  I did some
searching on the site but couldn't find what am looking for, here I am
asking.

I'm building a non-profit site with a petition form, I would like to
place a map showing markers for the total submitters in each state and
or country when a user fills the form with their information.  I'm
thinking I have to build a form and store the data for an extraction
by the map application.

I found this site that gives an idea of what am looking for.  Their
map doesn't show markers based on voters and their location, rather
their office addresses in various states and countries. The site is
http://www.one.org

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nabil

Hi all,

Hope someone can help - I'm getting little or no search results when querying
the local
search with latitude and longitude set for say, Cardiff (Wales), UK and a query
such as
'restaurants'...

If I use the Yahoo front end on the man website, I get great results - though it
does say
courtesy of 'The Phone Book' - don't know if that's relevant?

Why aren't I getting the same results from the API? What am I doing wrong?

Please help, thx
Steve

Hello,

After installing the latest version of the Yahoo Maps Flash API, my
flash file will not compile withou errors.

I have read through the posts here and tried uninstalling, clearing
the aso files and reinstalling.  But to no avail, it still will not
work.

The error I am getting is:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 17: The class or
interface 'com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget' could not be
loaded.
      import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 21: The class or
interface 'com.yahoo.maps.overlays.TrafficOverlay' could not be
loaded.
      import com.yahoo.maps.overlays.TrafficOverlay;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 22: The class or
interface 'com.yahoo.maps.widgets.SatelliteControlWidget' could not
be loaded.
      import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.SatelliteControlWidget;


I have tried this on 4 different machines to see if it was machine
specific but that did not make a difference either.

When I check the ASO files after a compile I see that the classes
above are not any where to be found on the system. If I open the swc
file I see that the missing classes listed in there.

I have see references that other people are experiencing the same
problem.  Does anyone have any fixes?

Please search for previous posts about this same problem.  I believe
there was a solution.

You'll have to take a look at the http response headers being sent
from your server.  In particular, check the cache-related headers such
as Last-Modified, Expires, etc. for your custom swf.

Thanks for the response, but the caching isn't going to solve my
problem. The unique marker id being passed will prevent the markers
from caching the first time it is fetched from the server. Every time
the url being loaded changes the ID number, it has to refetch the
marker object.

e.g. currentmarker = {url: RootUrl + "marker.swf?markerid=" + thisID };

the marker _can_ be cached by the browser, but the issue is that it's
going to have to get each individual marker object with it's query
string and cache that. Fine if the app has been run once already, but
inneficient, and not fine if this is the first time the app has been
loaded.

I want to load just the marker.swf and then after it's been added to
the map, tell it what it's ID is from within action script, instead of
passing it an ID when it gets added.


Hopefully this clarifies things.

I've been told that the reference number parameter will make this
possible, but there's no examples of this being utilised currently,
and the documentation regarding it is sparse.

www.one.org <http://www.one.org/>  is using our JS-Flash api.  It's a flash
component that is controlled using javascript.  If you're  interested in
that API, more details here:

http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/jsGettingStarted.html



You could also use our AJAX  api:

http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ajax/index.html



Or, if you know Actionscript/Flash, you can use the AS-Flash api:

Caching can still work.  While adding a markerid GET param will make
the url unique and force the browser to send an http request, on the
server side, you can send a 304 Not-Modified response, and the swf
will not get re-downloaded.

I'm not sure why you'd pass markerid as a flashvars to the swf.
Better way to do it: You can make a public actionscript function in
your swf, and have your parent map swf call the marker swf function to
set marker-specific data.

Another way is to simply pass in your extra data via currentmarker.
Add whatever you need to your currentmarker array, and then access it
in marker.swf using _parent.<yourData>, perhaps within an initMarker
function.

Hope this helps!

The reason I am passing the marker ID as a flash var to the swf is
that the markers themselves retrieve data from a database using amf. I
couldn't find any way to directly reference the markers after they had
been created, so as a workaround, I passed them the primary key value
of the table they needed to reference in the database.

If you could give me an example of setting a value in a marker after
it has been added with the
Map.addMarkerByLatLon(CustomSWFMarker,LatLonVar,markerObject) I would
be most appreciative.

So a little more research has now established that the problem seems
to be only present in v3.0 of the maps... take a look at this version
of the same demo application -
http://www.unistardesign.com/map/manymarkers_v2.php - it uses the
same process to display the markers - however it does not suffer from
the slow response problem on refresh - and also seems to render the
markers faster in the first place... could it be that some unexpected
overhead was introduced in v3.0 ???

thoughts anyone ?
