seems like, in AS2, you could create an input box and a submit button.
on submit a a variable is set to whatever is in the text box (post code) - then a simple function with a Get URL is triggered like this
var postCode = "";
function openGoogle()
{
postCode = your_input_variable;
getURL("the first part of the google maps url" + postCode + "end of url code")
}though, i didn't test. just off the top of my head and you won't need to use an API.

you need an input text field and a button that triggers a function which collects the value of the text field and inserts it into your google url, then makes a geturl call to that url.

just create the above url with the 90026 being whatever zip code you need added to the end of it.

AS2 siaukia, my brian cant cope with AS3 yet.
skt I want it so people will fill in a text field and a button which will launch google maps, but the "get directions" area, so it takes the postcode you just entered and creates directions to a preset address.
acescence has hit the nail on the head, but I wont have a clue how to do that

there is an API that makes this pretty easy to do but its AS3
