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=""> 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.

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

I would probably have the route in its own layer if that makes a

<pre wrap=""> 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.
