Do you know how to make it into a POI marker? In other words, you hover your mouse over (or click) the marker and it shows the text?

I found an example of how to create a POI (Point Of Interest) marker
here:
http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/flexGettingStarted.html

Come to find out I need to
import com.yahoo.maps.markers.CustomPOIMarker;

I’m struggling to find where I can download CustomPOIMarker.as

I found a version of it here:
http://modestmaps.mapstraction.com/trac/browser/trunk/reference/YahooMaps/com/yahoo/maps/markers/CustomPOIMarker.as?rev=7

However, when I download that and import it into my Flex app, I get
errors in using it.

Specifically I get the error:
“A file found in a source-path must have an externally visible
definition. If a definition in the file is meant to be externally
visible, please put the definition in a package.”

Does anyone know how to use CustomPOIMarker in Flex and where can I
download a public package of it?

Thanks and I’m sorry you didn’t had this article when you need it.

Wish I had come across this a few days ago!
