I might be wrong, but I think the Map classes in Flex and Flash SWC's are not the same thing - Flex version inherits from UIComponent wheras Flash does from DisplayObject I guess (did not check though). If you take a look at http://www.igorcosta.org/?p=141 you'll see why. Igor's solution was a cure for the lack of Flex versions, now we have it in SWC.
