How much control over the map end do you have? Are they vector or raster?
Are you using Flash 8? 2 Scenarios for you if you have control of the map content: Vector maps: Produce in SVG then use an SVG to Flash drawing API routine to draw the maps in from loaded XML files. Raster maps with Flash 8: Scramble your image with a tile based algorythm, then use bitmap data to unscramble when the image is loaded into flash. These techniques in combination with others discussed here should make it not worth the effort to try and get to the content. Food for thought?
