I'm wondering what the situation is regarding the google geocoder.

I'm working on a project that uses geocoding and I'm using the google
&
yahoo geocoder. It seems that in order to use the google geocoder, I
need to create a map and add it to a component so that I have access
to
the geocoder to handle an address input request.

Is this the correct way to implement the google geocoder? is there a
workaround or something I'm missing in order to just use the google
geocoder without creating a map??

Currently I create it like this:
/* component to add the map to */
<mx:UIComponent id="mapContainer" visible="false"
width="1%"
height="1%" />

/* create the map */
googleMap = new Map();
googleMap.key = GoogleKey.KEY;

/* now add the map to the UIComponent */
mapContainer.addChild(gCoders.googleMap);

-Only after the above line has been executed do i have access to the
Google Geocoder.
If this line is not called I always get an exception about not being
able to access a null reference
even though I've created the google geocoder well ahead of this call

any advice/help appreciated! :)
cheers
