I am really interested in this and adapting it for my own use, I can understand the actionscript files well enough that I think with some trial and error I can get it to work. However, I have no idea how to use these in Flash Professional (the program I have to do this). My guess is that I need an .fla file to call in the actionscript files. Does anyone have an example or suggestions on how to start with this?
thanks

Hmm, I haven't had much experience using Flash, but I think you have to create a movieClip(?) and then put the actionscript in there. Sorry, I'm really just taking a shot in the dark.
Personally, I did it all in Flex Builder 3, which is free for students: https://freeriatools.adobe.com/flex/

@Colin:
You're on the right way. All you need to do is to create a new .fla file and then set the document class (in the properties panel) to the .as file provided by nathan.Hope this helps, if not let me know, I'll post an example .fla for you.
*Edit: If you want to start with ModestMaps I have to recommend the base application I created for the use of ModestMaps. There's a .fla file included that uses the above mentioned method. Feel free to download it here: http://portfolio.artillery.ch/downloads/mm-construct
