I would like to include a Google map in a Flash site I am building. I would like to retain as much of the zoom, print, copy/send url, direction functionality as is practically possible. Please could somebody advise the best way to do this? Thanks.

This API lets Flex developers embed Google Maps in Flash applications. Similar to the JavaScript version, this ActionScript API provides a number of utilities for manipulating and adding content to maps through a variety of services, enabling you to embed robust, interactive maps applications on your website.

Thanks Paul. To anybody else wishing to use this, it's worth pointing out though that this API is actionscript 3.0 only – no support for actionscript 2.0 as far as I can tell. If anybody knows of an actionscript 2.0 solution it'd be good to hear about that too.

Yahoo maps has had a Flash api for some time. I thought they had it as AS 2, but didn't see it. For what it's worth,http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/maps/

Stamen developed a "BSD-licensed display and interaction library for tile-based maps in Flash (ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0) and Python" called ModestMaps While not the best choice for Google maps, it also supports Open Street Map, Yahoo, as well as MS maps.
