[Yewondwossen Assefa]

 Hi There,

 Here is output format description to output one raster swf for all the layers in
the map file.

      OUTPUTFORMAT
        NAME swf
        MIMETYPE "application/x-shockwave-flash"
        DRIVER swf
        IMAGEMODE PC256
        FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_MOVIE=SINGLE"
      END

 I have updated the also the wiki pasge with this
information.(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapserverFlash)
