Hello, I have little experience with the Google API but AFAIK the API is strickly AJAX based. Yahoo! maps on the other hand, has an AS2 based component that you can hack and extend in Flash. They do not have an AS3 based component at this time but released an "AS3 communication kit" that facilitates direct API calls within Flex to the AS2 map though ExternalInterface. Google is the leader with maps. But IMHO Flash/flex is a better performer when layering interactivity on a map and a better development platform.
