Everything is based on the visible portion of the line. In fact the
label point
code doesn't even get access to the feature until it has been clipped.

Regarding the labelling of line features the mapfile reference states:

"Lines are labeled at the middle of the longest arc in the visible 
portion of the line."

I assume this means the middle of the visible portion of the line, not

the middle of the full length of the line. Is that correct? I'm just 
trying to make sure that if a portion of a line is within the map view

but its actual middle, not just the middle of the visible part, is 
outside the map view, that it will still be labelled.

I hope that is sufficiently clear. If not, let me know and I'll try to

elaborate.

Here is an update:

I have a typo in the php below:

  <PARM NAME=movie VALUE="><?php echo $url; ?>">

should be:

  <PARM NAME=movie VALUE="<?php echo $url; ?>">

BUT that is not the whole story. The test works fine in Netscape 7.02 
but fails to display in IE 6.0 via the html, but if I drag the *.sfw 
file into the IE it will display it. My browser is on Win2K.

OK, where are the keepers of the flash secrets? I did what seemed to
be the obvious thing to do and get a swf file and load it, but I don't
see a map. So I must be missing the secret hand-shake or something :)
Here is the php script I created which seems to work just fine, except
the map does not show in the browser:

<HTML>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#CCCCCC">
<CENTER>
<H1>PHP/MapScript module test</H1>

<?php
dl("php_mapscript.so");
$map = ms_newMapObj("demo.map");
$map->selectOutputFormat("SWF");
$img = $map->draw();
$url = $img->saveWebImage();

?>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swfl
ash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
  WIDTH="<?php echo $map->width; ?>" HEIGHT="<?php echo $map->height;
?>" id="map" ALIGN="">
  <PARM NAME=movie VALUE="><?php echo $url; ?>">
  <PARM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
  <PARM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#CCCCCC>
  <EMBED src="<?php echo $url; ?>" quality=high bgcolor=#CCCCCC 
WIDTH="<?php echo $map->width; ?>" HEIGHT="<?php echo $map->height;
?>" NAME="map" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT> </BODY> </HTML>

The OUTPUTFORMAT block in the mapfile looks like:

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

and doing the same thing with a PNG image works fine.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Hi Flashy People,

I read this over and plan to give it a try:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/FlashMapserverUserDoc.html

Is this document current or has more been done on this? 
Do you have a priority wishlist?
Who is the principal developer on this?

I wanted to animate a route, like have each successive segment
highlight after a short delay and then repeat. Is this possible? How
hard would it be to implement? I saw some comments in the doc above
about highlighing, but it seemed to imply that this was not done
yet. I would probably have the route in its own layer if that makes
a difference.

I think some people have posted links to their apps, but if anyone
can share what they have done, I would be willing to add it to the
Wiki page and add my experiences to it.

Thanks,
  -Steve W.

Hi all,
   I am trying mapserver with swf output format now. There are some trouble with learning flash's action script when I planning use swf format. 
  When I load a map swf file from my main flash file,I can't do some change with the map swf file. so,if the map file generate 
in the mapserver can dynamically load some specail action script from web server? for example, if exist "./action/map.as",the map swf file load it,just like this:
         #inclue ./action/map.as;
        stop;

    Sorry for my poor english.

Hi There,
 Sorry for the late answer. I was out of the office since Friday.

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/FlashMapserverUserDoc.html

  Most of the information is uptodate. Parts that needed updating :
   - Events and Highlights : the document described the initial 
proposition. It did not describe how It was currently implemented.  I 
have updated that part of the document to describe what currently exists.

Is this document current or has more been done on this? 
Do you have a priority wishlist?
Who is the principal developer on this?

 There is no real priority list right now. I guess It will depend on how 
things go when people use theis output more frequently.

 I would be the main developper of this although I have had contribution 
and suggestion from other developpers like Jan Hartmann.

I wanted to animate a route, like have each successive segment 
highlight after a short delay and then repeat. Is this possible? How

  Hightlighting is implemented as noted above. Right now a second shape 
with the highlight color is drawn on top of the original shape when a 
mouse over happens on the shape.
  I am not sure how your case would be solved though. One possiblity 
would be to export for each element, it x,y coordinates (same way as the 
attributes are exported), and these coordinates would be accessible 
through Action Script. This idea was intially proposed for symbol layers 
to export the posisition of the symbols(x,y) and at the application  
level,  position flash symbols at these specific positions.  If there 
are other ideas, I would like to hear them.

I think some people have posted links to their apps, but if anyone 
can share what they have done, I would be willing to add it to the 
Wiki page and add my experiences to it.

Later,
