Major Changes/Additions for this RC are...
- NA Boundaries Searching [See New Documentation and Samples]
You can now search the North America Map Layers for Boundary Shapepoints and Attributes! There are a couple of points to be aware of:
- There are TWO Loader objects for loading search results:
- The Boundary Loader, that lets you search all boundaries except for Property Parcels
- The Parcel Loader, that lets you search for Property Parcels
Demographic information is accessed through the Boundary Loader
- The shape points of the boundaries returned are generalized for performance (otherwise your web apps would choke trying to load them). Do not expect them to line up exactly if you use them to create an overlay of an individual boundary on top of the actual tile layer
- Tile Layers - Refactored [See Updated Documentation and Samples]
If you have been using RC1 or RC2, you'll need to update your code a little to work with RC3 for the tile layers - we refactored the object model to make it simpler. Quite simply, we didnt feel that the new Layer objects were behaving like layers you could just add to the map...so we fixed it.
See the docs and samples linked above for the differences.
Javascript:
To use the APAC layers in javascript, you must add "apaclayers" to the
list of included packages (the "ipkg=" parameter in the querystring)
To use the NA layers in javascript, you must add "NAlayers" to the
list of included packages (the "ipkg=" parameter in the querystring)
Actionscript:
To use the APAC layers in actionscript, you include the APACLayer.swc in
the project.
To use the NA layers in actionscript, you include the NALayer.swc in
the project.
NOTE: the SWCs are built using FlexBuilder 3 and the Flex 3 compiler.
They should work with both Flash Player 9 And Flash Player 10
The default map Controls have been separated out of the core toolkit
SWC, so if you make your own controls you dont need to carry the weight
of the default controls in your final SWFs

Major Changes/Additions for this RC are...
- North American
Overlays Layer [Use sample: North American Layers]
In the NALayers package is a new layer object for adding overlays of
various data to the map. The layers available are:
- Zip Code boundaries & Labels
- Neighbourhood Boundaries & Labels
- Parcel Boundaries
- School District Boundaries
- Demographic Thematic maps (over 600 indicators, displayable by Block
Group, Census tract, Zip Code, County, and State, with configurable
break-points and colors)
You can mix and match these different boundaries and labels, and
set a single opacity for the layer.
Javascript:
To use the north american layers in javascript, you must add "nalayers"
to the list of included packages (the "ipkg=" parameter in the
querystring)
Actionscript:
To use the north american layers in actionscript, you include the
NorthAmericanLayer.swc in the project.

- Premium searchable
POI Tables [Use sample: POI Search]
New tables have been added to the spatial.beta.mapquest.com server -
Remember to use the Advantage API libraries and the exec.search
function.
The table names are:
PCNA_SCHOOLS - Schools
PCNA_HOODS - Neighbourhood Centroids
We have created a migration guide to assist developers in
upgrading their applications from v5.2.x to v5.3.0 of the JavaScript
