I could add something like SWFACTIONSCRIPT metadata (on the web object) 
which can be use at save time to add specific actions script codes to 
the main movie : In your case It would be:

 Web
     ...
    metadata
      "SWFACTIONSCRIPT" "#inclue ./action/map.as;stop"
      ...
    end

Would this be enough ?

  <pre wrap="">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.

    <pre wrap=""> 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 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.
