In fact I am not using gif produced by MapServ, but JPEG produced by
MapServ and JPEG is loaded in Flash.
If you downloaded the source code you could see in MAP file attached to
zip that JPEG is produced by MapServ.

As I know, Flash cannot load gif dynamically from web, only JPEG or SWF
can be loaded. 
I also found out that JPEG should be transparent and non-interlaced.
