The problem isn’t simply isolated to the documentation, either. There’s also the matter of the completely inconsistent and un-ActionScript-like coding conventions, the broken normalscreen_x and normalscreen_y attributes, the lack of an swc (which means no debug symbols, no compiling it in using the Flash IDE, and extra function calls to get information that should be part of the dispatched events)…the list goes on. I’ve written a more complete wrapper to abstract away most of the stupidity of the YuMe API and plan to release it soon. In the meantime, I hope that they fire their entire development staff, because this SDK is a joke.
