embedding a map is fairly straightforward if you've got the html link for it.
For example, launch Google Maps, zoom out on the map to get a world view... find and select the link/embed logo in the upper right of the screen. This will give you the html string to copy and paste into C5's regular html block.
Publish... there you are :)

that's for you reply, i will check that, but the problem is that my client want the map to look exactly like the one in the about link with flash.

I see. Looking at their documentation, it appears you upload their file into your site directory and paste the flash code snippet in a block in your site. Pasting the html code is pretty straightforward, but I admit I don't intuitively see what file to upload the ammap folder to.
I'll play with this over the weekend just to satisfy my own curiosity :)
If you, or anyone else, find the solution... I'd be interested too.

Okay: After downloading and extracting the Ammap folder, open it and select the Ammap folder listed on top and FTP it to your root or public directory (the same place your concrete files live). Then you just paste the html snippet into a block wherever you like in your site.

(their documentation has a lot of instructions on modifying/customizing the map and they include a lot of example maps in the download for you to modify as needed)

yep... they look for the files in the root directory. I used the code from this page to test http://www.ammap.com/docs/v.2/how_to/embed_flash_to_your_page_witho...

otherwise use the "Adding map to page" under the Basics section in documentation of the amMap site

I'm getting a "movie not loaded" message where your block is. Elvisz, I'm not too adept with Flash and would only be helping by trial and error. Did you try using the default map or have you modified one already? And... did you try both code snippets to see if the other worked? (the one you copy from the amMap folder and the one I tried was the "Embedding Flash in a web page without SWFObject" method)?
