Thank you!

This time it's ok! great.
The problem was that, when outputting swf, mapserver tryed to output the 
scalebar in swf too.
So It ran, ran, ran and never stopped.

I resolve with using a $gpoMap->selectoutputformat("PNG");
just before the $img = $gpoScaleBar->draw();

and this time, that work!



Just a few question more...

It's not possible to use the <INPUT  TYPE=image SRC=\"$url  to display 
the movie, right?
It is mandatory to use <Object....>....  </Object>  right?


If I choose Outputformat = multiple, What should I use to display them 
together?
Can I do that with php or should I use flash mx to create a projects and 
some actionscript code?

Thank you again!

Cheers!

	Hmmmm....very odd.  It works fine for me.

	It doesn't matter what this is set to if your script sets the output
	type at runtime (strongly recommended).

	Can you be more specific?  Error messages?

	gmap_ms40 must be used in order to use swf output.

	None of that *should* matter.

	Below is a simple script to output the swf images.  When the script is
	done it outputs the swf images to the ms4w ms_tmp folder and echos out
	the filename.  I ran this script with the exact mapfile I sent to you.
	Please run the script (edit accordingly) and let me know if you still
	have the same problem.
	
	<?php
	
	// define variables
	define( "MAPFILE", "../map/swf.map" );
	define( "MODULE", "php_mapscript_40.dll" );
	
	// set the max execution time (seconds)
	ini_set("max_execution_time", "60");
	
	// load the mapscript module
	if (!extension_loaded("MapScript")) dl(MODULE);
	
	// open map
	$oMap = ms_newMapObj( MAPFILE, dirname( MAPFILE ) );
	
	$oMap->selectoutputformat("swf");
	
	// draw map
	$oImage = $oMap->draw();
	
	// output map
	echo $oImage->saveWebImage("");
	
	?>
	
	
	
	Regards,
	Bill
