Did some flash experiments. Source code is not free I'm afraid, but I could 
certainly share experience if you have certain questions about getting flash 
& mapserver to work.
For an example of a simple viewer: 
http://www.sarvision.nl/mawas/mapserver/ms-mawas.php ; showing a landsat 
image of an area in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Have been experimenting with the 
multi-layer flash output but don't have any suitable swf's using this to show 
you.
Have made nothing with real GIS functionality, or even queries. Though I have 
had some thoughts on how I could implement that in flash.
Btw, all is made using php/ming and mapserver/mapscript.
But, if you don't need to have on the fly swf apps but can have a static one, 
and if you can do C, I'd recommend to start writing in c/ming because using 
php and the latest ming (0.3a) is a real pain. And 0.3a has quite some bugs 
fixed that 0.2a (which was the best version I managed to run with php) still 
has.

Cheers,
Vincent Schut.
