Yahoo! Maps No Longer Uses Flash

In an earlier post about setting URL hash values from Flash, I referenced Yahoo! Maps as a prime example of employing this technique in Flash applications. However, much to the chagrin of Adobe, Yahoo! Maps no longer uses Flash technology to power its maps application and instead has chosen to use AJAX. Their maps application still updates the URL hash values, and my earlier post still holds water; it's just that Yahoo! Maps is no longer an example that can be referenced.
