Ok. I think I can answer some of these questions

I suspect the reason you are seeing x's is that the map view area is outside of the bounds for your custom map and attempting to load tiles that don't exist.

To limit the zoom out, what I do is check the current zoom level... grid.zoomLevel within Map.as... on the zoom button events

To set the starting position and zoom I've used Map.setExtent with the top left and lower right lat/lon choordinates of my map area. I also think that Map.setCenterZoom with a centerpoint location and zoom level would also work.

This is good stuff. I had a hell of a time with the re-draw issues as well when writing a zoomOn function that would both pan and zoom to a particular location on the map. I ended up scrapping an animated effect for that because it was causing so many problems for me. If reDraw is set to true, it's going to attempt to load tiles for intermediate zoom levels between the start and destination zoom, right?

This didn't work for me. well, it landed me on the right location, but I've lost my markers and the zoom limits seem to have reset, and I am unable to zoom back out all the way. I'm using the as 2.0 version, and any help would be appreciated.
