I would say more people have javascript enabled browsers, than the latest flash plugin. Just use google maps. Google maps, yahoo maps and multimap all use javascript over flash.
I wouldn't advise trying to make your own, christ all mighty talk about reinventing the wheel.

Yahoo maps is built in flex and 99% of users are (ment to have) flash installed
Adobe - Flash Player Version Penetration
I've been developing in flex recently and its not bad, the mxml side of things is not complicated at all, but the actionscript3 talking to PHP is where the work begins, its not hard just a learning curve but if your used to javascript then actionscript will come easy as I found.
I'd say it would be better in flex but would probably take longer than javascript/php/mysql
