The application FindMee on Facebook is a nice example of how ActionScript 3.0 can be used together with Google Maps API for Flash on Facebook to create simple but useful applications. The application itself can be used by travelers to quickly find a way to visit friends, relatives etc.

ActionScript 3.0 sends queries to the Google Maps API and the Facebook API. It shows that RIAs have definitely a place on Facebook. Make sure you check the upcoming ActionScript 3.0 / Facebook series here @ InsideRia. It will go into detail how to make applications similar to this.
