UPDATE:
This sample has been chosen as example of the day at:
http://www.ifbin.com
Using the new Yahoo maps beta I created this application to track your UPS packages as they move about the U.S. Flex is using a web service call to access a ColdFusion cfc which is acting as a facade to fetch the UPS data via cfhttp. At this time Yahoo has not released a Flex 2 swc for it mapping beta so this application is a Flex 1.5 app. The source code is availabe in the Flex By Example section of IFBIN.com.

OK, first the bad news, the site was down for the past 36 hours due to corruption on the server. We are back up now and have restored most of the data. There are a few examples that may still be missing but will be replaced shortly.
OK, now the good news, Ted Patrick (of powersdk.com fame) has invited me to be a contributing author at IFBIN.com
I will continue to contribute to post samples to this blog as well as IFBIN.com.
