Web Map Services + Yahoo! Maps
Hi all-

I have been playing with Yahoo! Maps API for Flash (ActionScript).  It is pretty powerful.  I have built a demo application that allows image based map services to be overlain on top of the Yahoo! Maps data.  To do this I am customizing the Yahoo! Flash API.  I am using a REST based interface to my ArcIMS map service (I could just as easily use a WMS service for this) so that I can overlay the returned map image on top of the Yahoo! Map as a customImageMarker.  Here is the function that calls my custom REST service:


function getArcIMSImage() {
    var arcims_url = base_url + "BBOX="+myMap.getBounds().minLon+","
                     +myMap.getBounds().maxLat+","+myMap.getBounds().maxLon
                     +","+myMap.getBounds().minLat+"&image_width="
                     +myMap.getWidth()+"&image_height="
                     +myMap.getHeight()+"&servername="
                     +servername+"&mapservice="+mapservice
                     +"&LAYER_ID="+layer_id+"&image_type="
                     +image_type;
    var latitude1 = myMap.getBounds().minLat;
    var longitude1 = myMap.getBounds().minLon;
    var LL = new LatLon (latitude1,longitude1);
    myMap.addMarkerByLatLon(CustomImageMarker,LL,{url:arcims_url});
}


Here is my sample application.  If you are below zoom level 4 and within the city limits of Lawrence, KS, you should see the parcel boundaries on top of the Yahoo! Map data.

It could be anything though...elevation contours, landcover, imagery, etc...

Now I wish you had the ability to lay custom images below the Yahoo! Map road data (ie to replace the imagery with your own)...

Try it out and let me know what you think.
