[Mapserver-users] swf output problems with ms4w 0.6

HI the list,

I'm trying to enable the swf output format for mapserver.
I currently use the ms4w 0.6 package and wanted to try it for the gmap
application.

I've seen many discussion, wikis, dmsolutions flash support documentation, but I did never arrive to
output swf format.

I've used this config:
 
In the map file:

IMAGETYPE SWF

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

The resulting error is : Call to a member function on a non-object for $url = $img->saveWebImage();
and no file is outputed in my tem files.

With the FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_MOVIE=SINGLE", I got an swf created in the temp file, but an
error says strangely "Failing writing Image"

I know that I can use the $gpoMap->SelectOutputFormat("SWF");
but I got the same problem with it.

I've tried to output other format by changing the "Imagetype"in the  map files and it goes well for
JPEG, GIF, PNG. 

My version of mapserver & mapscript are 4.0.1. 

Do someone can tell me what's wrong?

I've installed the shockwave plugin from macromedia, do I need something
else more?

That just boring me a little because I've already spend about 3 days to see what's wrong... 
Any suggestion would be welcome!

cheers
