Sorry to bring this subject up again. I have seen many posts already
asking for this feature but the answers so far are problematic to us.

We have a Flex client and have integrated the JS version of Earth API
via ExternalInterface using the HTML DIV to display the Earth on top
of the Flash window (as described by www.cynergysystems.com's blog).
This approach works fine if your Flex client doesn't have its own
popup dialogs or popup menus. Because the Earth window is a DIV on top
of the Flash window, all of the popups get hidden or clipped by the
DIV window. We had to put in complex popup handling logics to switch
the DIV off when a popup intersects with the DIV. Having this DIV
window hanging out there is problematic. The popups are just the tip
of the iceberg. Anytime you need to not show the Earth window you need
to have special switching code to handle it (e.g., changing tabs where
the Earth window is inside one of the tab panes). Furthermore, we
cannot use many of the Flash special effects (like motion blur on a
screen transition) without having to switch off the Earth DIV. This is
not to mention the extra code bloat and maintenance issue with the
switching logics.

As for the Flex 3D perspective map, we cannot us it because our
customer wants a sphere where all of the graphics we add to it render
as curves (geodesics) instead of straight lines.

So, if it is possible to have a Google Earth API for Flex, all of our
DIV related display problems will go away and we will be eternally
grateful to your team. :)
