Just a note, I have grabbed your HTML snippet did the modifications you
noted below and tried It here on IE 6.0 (winXP) and It was displaying
the flash movie properly.

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.

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=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"</a>

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;

PLUGINSPAGE=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"</a>></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.

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.
