Are you looking for the geographical location of an IP address?
IPinfodb offers a you that service, for FREE!
We just ported the service to an ActionScript 3.0 API to open it up for other Flash and Flex developers …
Example:
Important that you set the the api key(_api_key) in the IpToLocation.as to your correctly obtained API key. Get your API key here.
This post is based on an update of a previous version of the IPinfodb API (read the old post here).

we use IPinfodb for our College Classifieds website, but we noticed that this API is not very accurate when using a mobile device. Has anyone else noticed that?? For instance, I just clicked the “Get Location” link in your example while using my phone and it says I’m in Tennessee when I’m actually in Michigan.
This is correct. We only ported this service to a AS3 version. The working / accuracy is provided by the folks over at IPInfodb. I know there are way better services available, but mostly also not free of use. Sorry
