The Yahoo! Flash Developer Center is live and open for business!

Check it out at: http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/

The Y! Flash Developer Center aims to be your source for information about using Adobe Flash with Yahoo! Web Services and APIs. We provide you with things like HOWTO Articles, components for use in your Flash applications, and links to other resources on the web where you can find source code and helpful tools. Of course, it’s our new baby and is thus still in it’s infancy. It will no doubt continue to evolve and grow, but we can’t do it without help from people like you (I know that sounds corny, but it’s true).

Additionally, be sure to sign up for the public Yahoo! Flash group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-flash/ And if you haven’t already, be sure to read my post on Yahoo! Hack Day.

I wrote a simple article on how to get started using Yahoo! Search APIs in ActionScript 2 or ActionScript 3

There are other interesting articles up there now, including how to:

• Use the Yahoo! Maps Flash API with ActionScript 2
• Creating a Yahoo! Music Jukebox plugin using ActionScript 2
• Mash up Flash and Upcoming.org API using ActionScript 2

We’re working on other articles too. Be sure to check out developer.yahoo.com for more info on our public APIs.
