[mtasc] Using Yahoo! Maps Web Service with MTASC

[Sean Mountcastle]

I'm trying to get the sample code "Dynamically attaching a Yahoo! Map to
your SWF" from here (
http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/asGettingStarted.html) to compile
using MTASC (http://www.mtasc.org) but I'm having some difficulty.

Here are the steps I took:
1) Downloaded YWS Maps SWC file (for Flex)
2) Unzipped the file and renamed all of the .asi files to .as (I did this
based on the SWC Ant task described here: http://osflash.org/hamtasc)
3) Cut-and-paste the sample code from the YWS Map page and place it inside a
class like so:

import com.yahoo.maps.LatLon;
import com.yahoo.maps.api.Languages;
import com.yahoo.maps.MapViews;
import com.yahoo.maps.tools.PanTool;
import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.SatelliteControlWidget;
import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.ZoomBarWidget;

class MapTest {

        static var app : MapTest;

        function MapTest() {
                var satControl:SatelliteControlWidget = new
SatelliteControlWidget(SatelliteControlWidget.HORIZONTAL);
                var zoomControl:ZoomBarWidget = new ZoomBarWidget();
                var pantool:PanTool = new PanTool();

                //Create a map centered on 41.890522, 12.500553, zoom level
of 8, hybrid view type and using the Italian language.
                var mapdata:Object = { latlon:new LatLon(41.890522,12.500553
),
                                       zoomLevelStr:8,
                                       mapViewType:MapViews.HYBRID,
                                       language:Languages.it_IT,
                                       _xscale:2200,
                                       _yscale:1600,
                                       appidStr:"<secret>" };

                //create map container movie clip
                var mapContainer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mapContainer",
1 );

                //attach map to mapContainer
                var map = mapContainer.attachMovie("
com.yahoo.maps.api.flash.YahooMap", "map", 1, mapdata);

                //add EVENT_INITIALIZE listener
                map.addEventListener(
com.yahoo.maps.api.flash.YahooMap.EVENT_INITIALIZE, onMapInit);
        }

        // entry point
        static function main(mc) {
                app = new MapTest();
        }

        function onMapInit(event:Object):Void {
            //add SatelliteControlWidget with its buttons arranged
horizontally
            map.addWidget(satControl);
            //add zoom control
            map.addWidget(zoomControl);
            //add pan tool
            map.addTool(pantool, true);
        }
}

4) Compile it using MTASC: mtasc -cp /usr/lib/ocaml/mtasc/std -cp ./YahooMap
-mx -swf maptest.swf -main -header 800:600:20 MapTest.as

Unfortunately, MTASC can't seem to find some of the files, even though I
added the directory to the classpath (-cp ./YahooMap) and spits outs the
following error:

MapTest.as:13: characters 16-30 : type error class not found :
com.yahoo.maps.widgets.SatelliteControlWidget

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance,
Sean
