Bing Map Service for Flex 2.0-setup

[JayDira]

Can anyone please provide me the steps to add the Bing Map service.
I would like to replace the ESRI images services from the out of the box flex 2.0 with bing map service.
Thanks.

Hello Law,

I fixed that typo and I still recieve a blank screen. Any idea's what can be the issue.
I know the key works because we are using bing map  on our .net maps.
Thanks,
Thanks.

Are you using Viewer 2.1 or an earlier version?

I am using Viewer 2.1 now.

If you use a tool like HttpFox, do you see any requests going to http://dev.virtualearth.net and if so, what is the response?

How can i get the list of available LODs for VETiledLayer?
I'm trying to write custom zoom navigation control.

[DasaPaddock]

Use the tileInfo property to get to the lods Array.
