No Dice with Yahoo Maps and AIR

AIR, Cayri, Flex, Mapping 2 Comments »

Spending the last couple weeks refactoring Cayri’s code to be more modular, I was excited to start working on the AIR version of Cayri this morning. So I started up Flex Builder, drug my custom Yahoo Maps control onto the canvas, compiled the project, and got this sweet error:

Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX, Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime.

This is just a heads up to those who are using an ExternalInterface work around for AS2 to AS3 communication, and are planning on moving your projects to AIR.

Ugh.
