Using Google JS library and server API are different things.
Google doesn't allow access to their map server and data through any
client component not provided by Google.
So, there is no way to legally build another Flash API for Google maps.
If nothing changes in the meantime Google maps swf is probably gone next
year.
OpenScales (http://openscales.org) is another nice open source library
that works with Flex.
Map24 from Navteq is also an interesting data source, but they don't
have Flash component. Not sure if something changed, but as I remember
their API rules were less strict than Google's.

Huh?
If it would use the JS APIs, how would that be illegal?

It could be done but as I previously stated it would be illegal beacuse
google prevents accessing the map data other than its personal APIs

Can't we just replicate what they did using the Javascript APIs?
