I'm using MapQuest for my AIR app (AS3) but I've read that it will be depreciate in the future.
Google Maps is depreciate for AS3
The Yahoo Maps has been deprecated for AS3.
So, my question is, which map API can we use now for AS3 ?
I suggest using OpenScales. It still has some development activity and is a powerful mapping platform for AS3.

You can use different mapping providers with it so you can get some great looking maps.

TL;DR
How do I get Google maps 3d building terrain for my project?
They provides it?
I want to draw 3d buildings of my neighborhood on my project.
Ideally I wish I could do something on Web but App is Ok too.
For example
https://www.localize.city/address/new%20york/new%20york/manhattan/west%2047%20street/505/insights?itemIndex=0&itemOpen=false
Thanks.
Currently, Maps Javascript API doesn't have this feature, however, this can be done using the Maps SDK for Android with Camera and View, you may visit the documentation to further understand, you may also check the sample in this repository. Hope this helps.
I need to develop a feature where I need to show the directions between two zipcodes on a map offline. Is there any such framework which can display directions between two zipcodes ? I tried Highmaps, but it doesn't show directions between tow point. I looked at the below apis too. But I think they cannot work offline. Thanks in advance

The GrapHopper API that you mention is based on their SDK:
https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper
and it allows to perform routing in offline mode, in Java, and, more in particular, in Android.
There's a sub-project where GrapHopper is integrated with Mapsforge (library for rendering OpenStreeMap data offline) for Android:
https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/tree/0.8/android
Try hosting your own open-source instance, for example Graphhopper.
It's amazing how easy it is possible to use geofencing with Google Maps API. However for that you have to be "connected" and use online maps. However I can not find how to use geofencing functionality for offline maps and what, if any, offline map provider supports it on Android. Would be thankful for any help here.
Well, I ended up with some hybrid solution. I used MapBox and Open Street Maps for offline map functionality together with Google Play services that allowed me to add geofencing functionality. Somehow I was thinking that geofencing requires to use Google Maps and that was obviously not correct.
Please tell me if Google Maps API is available for Flash. If it's already deprecated for Flash then which one is the best third-party or other alternative?
My goal is to make an Android Maps app using Flash Builder 4.6.
Just use MapQuest. It is free and works on both, Android and iOS. I used it for an app 1 month ago and it works more then fine.
http://developer.mapquest.com
The iOS/Android app I am building requires a map component and just wondering what experts here would recommend using?
The app is being developed using pure AS3 and come across MapQuest. I only really need to be able to drop multiple markers and click markers for information. No directions, search etc.
Thanks
You might consider using a StageWebView instance with the HTML version of Google Maps.
You should be able to find helpful articles on the web. Sample: http://www.igorcosta.org/?p=350
Anyway, this might get tricky. :-/
I think Google Maps is still a good idea, but I’m not sure if it will work on mobile:

Beware that Google Maps API for Flash is deprecated.
Note (form Google Maps API page):
The Google Maps API for Flash has been officially deprecated as of September 2, 2011. The API will continue to work until September 2, 2014. We encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Maps JavaScript API.
If not, you'll probably have to create a native extension.
