Have you ever tried to simulate a Google Maps-style map in Flash? I hope you haven’t because you’d still be waking up screaming in the middle of the night after that experience.

If you want the nitty gritty of how to get started, check out the Flash API documentation.
I can’t wait to see what creative news designers are going to do with this…
