Ok, I figured it out. When loading it as a component within an Air/ Ajax application it still used a url parameter starting with app:/ which caused the maps API to reject the key. I changed the application so that it loads the swf from our live server instead of from inside the Air application - that fixed it but you might still want to have a look at the problem as it makes it a bit difficult to develop Air/Ajax apps.
When loading as an Air/flex app the parameters were: url=whatever was set in the mxml key=set in the mxml flc=xa When loading as an Air/ajax app the parameters were: url=app:/path/to.swf key=set in the mxml flc=x Regardless of the fact that url was set on the <maps:Map element in both cases - email me if you need more information.
