How to find an address with Google maps Flash API
After the Flash Google maps API release I spend some time to see what is possible. I started with the documentation from Google. In there documentation they are using the latitude and longitude coordinates to set the center of your map. This is not really a human readable way to do it and personally I never used the latitude and longitude coordinates to find a city or street in Google Maps. That is why I started searching for a way to center the map with an address.
I build a small application with source-code available in Flex that is using this technique. In the left upper corner you can search your own address. I use ClientGeocoder to search for the address but the problem i’m running in to is that you can’t run it local because he returns this error.
Warning: Domain maps.googleapis.com does not explicitly specify a meta-policy, but Content-Type of policy file http://maps.googleapis.com/mapsapi/crossdomain.xml is 'text/x-cross-domain-policy'. Applying meta-policy 'by-content-type'.
You can’t use ClientGeocoder crossdomain. You should call it from a domain that has a registered Google Maps API key in my case “http://blog.arnomanders.nl”.

The google map seems to work great, you mention it is available with source code but I could not find a link to the source code.
You have to start the application and than you can find the source under your right mouse button
