Updated AS3 Yahoo! Search API library and CoilGallery Search Mashup premiere
The latest flash Beta bits, and a programmer named firdosh both illustrate the fact that my YahooAPI classes had a few problems.
I have addressed those issues, and everything works fine now.
In order to exemplify this, i actually decided to mashup the CoilGallery code senocular released.
The app is definitely a prototype, and there are at least 3 known issues w/ the search implementation:
- i am not properly handling image load failures, so in the event of an image load failure, the app basically stops loading images
- there is some debug output, but ignore that for now
- the search term (“jamaica”) is hard coded
I will address all of these issues when i have time .. for now, just consider it a proof-of-concept.

Thanks Senocular, your code whips the llama’s ass
As always, any additional feedback is appreciated

Thanks Senocular, i’m definitely planning on finishing it up. I was thinking of throwing it in SVN tonight and making it a public, collaborative effort. If anyone is interested in helping with this, i’d certainly entertain that option.

Josh, I mentioned in the article that, “I am not properly handling image load failures…” The error message your reported is symptomatic of a failed image load. It is a known bug and will be resolved when time permits. Regardless, thanks for checking it out!
