I want to show flash google map as given on below link
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-FDICBANKS111609_RETRO.html
Can anyone please help me from where can I start?
Is there any ready map available like that?
There's a sample Pan/Zoom Flex Application with source for moving around with a Map, which is pretty neat.
Then there's the Google Maps API for Flex, and they have a few examples and base projects you could use to get started.
TriceDesigns has a GoogleEarth Flex Example (with source).
And here's some other examples with source:
Basic Map: Source
China Relief: Source
Smart Info Window Demo: Source
Orthogonal 3D Map: Source
I would start with the Google Map API Flex Library, and one of those projects, and just go from there.
Hope that helps.
You could look at amMap for flash and flex maps and charts (there's a free and a pay version).

i am actually trying to follow this tutorial: "How to create a HTML draggable and scrollable map with inertia using Phaser framework" (google it, www. emanueleferonato .com)
Im using Unity but i configured it "pixel perfect" so i can use directly pixels like in AS3 and flashdevelop.
I basically need to make a map for the game where the player can drag in the X axis of the map.
I have no clue of how to do it, also it should have acceleration and deceleration.
Edit:
As i say before, i am using a custom framework that does not allow components, or UI, it works like FlashDevelop and AS3, so imagine the answer is in AS3.
Thanks!
I recommend looking up Unity's UI documentation (AND TUTORIALS!) :D They have really good articles, and the forums are a great resource too.
Regarding your specific problem- Scroll Rect is what you are looking for. You can implement 2D dragging, along with acceleratoion, deceleration, and other kinds of UI physics (inertia, elasticity, etc.) with it.
Please look for tutorials if you're just beginning to dabble with these. I hope that helps!
I've stumbled upon this flash map
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/nation/unemployment-by-county/
it looks like they used this map to construct the website.

I am curious as to what people have done or any blogs that describe what can be done with flex and simple maps like this (not google maps style maps) but simple all-in-memory maps like this one. It would be cool to see what/ and how flex can do in terms of maps.
thanks!
You would need to draw the entire map. Its more of like a custom component. The below class would is how to start with.

At this point Google does not have a Google Earth plugin API for the flash player. I would still like to use GE in my AIR(Flex) application though. Can I do this by using the HTML container? If not what is a possible solution?
You can't do Google Earth (unless you can use an iframe or something). Instead check out the 3D Google Maps examples in Tour de Flex and see if those might work for you.
you'd better have a look at this
Currently I work on localization for a Flex application. From an article I know that you can control the localization with the following FlashVars:
resourceModuleURLs
localeChain
Are there any other FlashVars reserved by Adobe that a Flash/Flex Developer should know about?
I recently was playing with ContextMenuItem and found a list of words that cannot be used for a caption or label in a ContextMenuItem. Not sure if it helps.

Also a hack was suggested here, although I never tried it personally.
This article has a fairly easy tutorial. The conversation in the comments will cover a few best practices for you as well.
Here is an adobe livedoc on runtime localization that you may not have seen yet either.
This final link provides an update on the changes in the localization API made in Flex 3 and documents the deprecated and new classes/methods, etc. (a list with examples is at the bottom of the document).
On a side note if anyone is looking for a tool to help out with translations David Deraedt wrote some nice air apps called Lupo Localization Studio that are reasonably inexpensive.
i need of simple UsA map in flex ,all Area need to be click able as button .
Is there any tool available for designing buttons in various shape in flex or any build in free map is available in flex.
As vector format so that zoom in will not affect the quality.
i need to design like as shown in this site
http://www.futurevision.com.ua/products/usa_flash_map.php
This is the Degrafa Map Demo. It is still in the samples section so perhaps the site was down at the time.
data viz sample page here:: http://www.degrafa.org/samples/data-visualization.html
Load the "Map Dashboard" sample and Right click/View source to get at the code.
Cheers

I posted a similar question a while ago but needed more customization.
I used SVG path data in Degrafa to create custom maps of the world, continents, USA.. for a customer. Degrafa used to have a nice US map demo (with source code) as part of its samples, but it disappeared from the web. I don't know of any tool that would help to design clickable Flex shapes. I have no doubt though that Degrafa will provide more support and tools for converting and using SVG.
Some products I found: ilog, ArcGis
And also found this open-source library : GeoVis (birdeye)
But it's very unstable and haven't seen many changes recently.
I'll do that (or, I'll have a designer to do that) in illustrator, and then import the vector format in flex, with the [Embed] metadata.
I don't know if it is a downside for you (for me is a plus), but in this way you have to do everything in code, not with the FlexBuilder UI.
