In case you didn’t know, my team at Yahoo! released a beta version of our Yahoo! ActionScript 3 API library on the Yahoo! Flash Developer Center this week. The announcement officially came as part of our presentations at the 360 Flex conference in San Jose. Wonderful conference, by the way. If you missed it, shame on you! Truly one of the greatest concentrations of Flex developers ever, and I can’t wait until Ted, Tom, and John organize the next one. The place was overflowing with knowledge and excitement.

As you’re exploring the new Flash-friendly APIs, be on the look out for bugs, and please consider what you’d like to see in future versions. If you’re having trouble getting a particular API working, or you’re unsure about what something in the documentation means, I encourage you to contact us. The best way to send us questions and feedback is to send messages to the ydn-flash group on Yahoo! Groups. You’ll have access to not only real Yahoo! engineers like me, but also a knowledgeable community. Remember, we’re working hard to release new code for you guys, so other experienced developers that use our libraries can help you too.

If you want to get started with our new library, be sure to look at the how-to examples that our team developed. We demoed each of them at 360 Flex, and explained much of the code that we wrote with some extra insights. I’ll do a quick post once our slides become available, in case anyone is interested.

Now get out there and build some cool Flex mashups with our cool new Yahoo! libraries!
