Hi lynxmap-

Due to the way our quota system works, you can't just geocode many
addresses in a tight loop. On top of that, I wouldn't recommend
geocoding multiple addresses (especially 200) every time a map loads -
that is slow and a bad experience for the user. If you already know
the addresses, you should use the HTTP geocoder to geocode them ahead
of time.

Either way, Mike Williams has written up a nice page that talks about this:
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geomulti.htm

His page is about the JS API, but the concepts apply to the Flash API as well.
