I am not the SWF expert (Assefa is) so hopefully I won't be writing
something stupid here...

If I remember correctly, you can embed GIF/JPG images inside a clip as
you create the client app in the Flash IDE, but you cannot load a
GIF/JPG image via a URL using Action Script.  That's why the raster
layer has to be embedded in a small clip by MapServer... just so that
you can download the layer on the fly from your Flash app.
