Look into the Flex 2 sdk. It's free, and with Apollo scheduled for
release next year, your browser game could move to a desktop app.
While Adobe hasn't released the v.9 Flash player for linux yet it's
trivial to get Firefox running under Wine with the v9 plugin.

As for a map to use in Flex, I haven't tried it, but you could look at:
