Mapstraction - Mar 2009 - Bird''s Eye integration in Mapstraction

Are there any plans to integrate Virtual Earth''s Bird''s Eye
view to
mapstraction?

I tried an "integration hack" but then found out that there are too
many issues involved (check whether birds eye is available for the
current map area, disabling zoom controls,...).

Has anyone else tried it?

An integration would be great! I tried it, too, but i got this error:

Message: ''this.vemapcontrol'' is Null or no Object
Line: 143
Char: 616139
Code: 0
URI: http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6

It seems to be not that easy...
Could anyone help?

Hmmm - birdseye should just work. I know it does in Multimap.

It does, but I want to show the bird''s eye view only, not just a button
to show it.
This woul be the code (example):

         function GetMap()
         {
            map = new VEMap(''myMap'');

            map.LoadMap(SpaceNeedle, 17);

            // Let me know if a birdseye scene is available
            map.AttachEvent("onobliqueenter", OnObliqueEnterHandler);
         }

         function OnObliqueEnterHandler()
         {
            if(map.IsBirdseyeAvailable())
            {
               var TopOfNeedle = new VELatLong(47.622, -122.3491);
               map.SetBirdseyeScene(TopOfNeedle);
            }
         }

Bird''s eye is fiddly because it relies on asynchronous requests,
I''d
probably recommend you use (my) integration which you''ll find in the  
Multimap API. It should always return you reliable information from  
function calls and further information about the async requests in  
event handlers.
