[Mapserver-users] Flash Interface to mapserver

Only Flash 6 supports the dynamic loading of jpegs. Flash 5 supports dynamic
loading of swfs, but I'm not sure about Flash 4. Once mapserver 3.7 comes
out with swf support, it may be possible to use these earlier versions...

Silly question, I know... but does anyone know if it is possible to write a
flash front-end in flash 4?
This is all I have, and can't afford to upgrade at the moment.  I have a
request in at work for the new Studio MX, but it doesn't look like its going
through.

BTW, I tested it on a Pocket PC... no go. I imagine it requires Flash player
6, pocket ie only has 5.
Works in Opera for linux,
Works in Phoenix for linux,
Does not work in Konqueror 3.1... It loads the movie, but doesn't load the
actual map.  Just continues to say "Loading Map..."

Thanks

Sounds great to me! After talking with Paul Ramsey I've started working a
Flash version to work with the CGI implementation. I'll post it once I get
anywhere with it..

Don't want to lose this. How 'bout adding/starting a flash section on
the wiki?

Hey there. 
Well it's time I stopped simply leaching from this users-group and add
my
contribution. I've built a simple flash interface around MapServer
3.6.3.
The backend functionality is provided by PHP-Mapscript. On the page is
a
link to a zip file containing all of the relevant code. Feel free to
use
anything you want. I couldn't have been here without the help and
knowledge
gleamed from this users group. I would appreciate any bug reports,
feedback,
suggestions, etc. I've tested on IE6, Netscape7, and lightly tested on
a Mac
and so far all is well.

Cheers!
