Recently I found some interesting examples on how to build an interactive map without Flash but using HTML5 and JavaScript instead. This seems to open new possibilities to visualize free and open data. Avoiding Flash would also be more congruent with the open source idea.
1) migrationsmap.net – via webappers.com
The migrationsmap code is available on github!
2) American Migration Map for Forbes – the editor Jon Bruner describes on his blog how he created the map.

see if the problem still exists.
