The AS3 version of ModestMaps has finally been released. ModestMaps for AS3 allows you to create maps in Flash that load tiles from Google Maps, Yahoo, Virtual Earth or other custom tile providers. I used this library recently to build Platial’s new Frappr widget.

This release includes some changes that I contributed to the project including a new approach to marker event management. There is also a new Flash CS3 sample I created to demonstrate these changes.

Download the tarball or checkout directly from SVN.

The Flickr gallery demo from last night’s presentation is now online. Thanks to all who attended.

Just a reminder. I will be presenting a session on the PureMVC framework for ActionScript this Tuesday as part of the Goto+Play speaker series.

PureMVC is a lightweight framework for creating applications in ActionScript 3 (Flash and Flex), based upon the classic Model-View-Controller design meta-pattern. This presentation will provide an overview of PureMVC as well as a look at current best practices for day-to-day development as we walk through a sample application built with Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.
