Norman,
If you're focused on a Flash solution, have a look at PointMapper. [1]
It's a Flash applet that lets you take a (vectorized) base map,
georeference it with a simple XML file and map points using a
lightweight javascript API.
Another candidate would be the GoogleMaps API. [2] You can embed
Google's mapping tools in your application and let them do the
'heavy-lifting'. If you need to put together a quick prototype for
your client, check out GoogleMap EZ. [3] This lets you map points
without writing a lick of javascript, by instead using a crafted html
syntax.
