Hi, The way to embed google maps is present in the link you have posted. It uses google maps like the way you normally would from a HTML page. But the div containing the map is positioned where you want it over the flex UI. It's a combination of HTML and Flex.
This is not the most elegant solution for flex and Yahoo has released AS3 components for their mapping service: http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/maps/ Also, take a look at http://www.afcomponents.com/components/g_map_as3/ Cheers, -- Anirudh Sasikumar http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/
