Hi Kim-

It should be possible. The following code shows how to create a
maptype composed of the terrain tile layers and the hybrid upper tile
layer:

private function onMapPreinitialize(event:Event):void {
        var opts:MapOptions = new MapOptions();
        var limitedZoomMapType:IMapType = new
MapType([MapType.PHYSICAL_MAP_TYPE.getTileLayers()[0],
MapType.HYBRID_MAP_TYPE.getTileLayers()[1]],

MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE.getProjection(),
                                                "LimitedZoom Demo",
                                                new
MapTypeOptions({maxResolution: 4, minResolution: 1}));
        opts.mapTypes = [limitedZoomMapType];
        map.setInitOptions(opts);
}
