[Mapserver-users] swf movies not displaying

[blaise]

Dear list,

I managed to have the swf output for mapserver (a lot of troubles, see 
below).
I have added the OUTPUTFORMAT section in a map file; but when I run 
MapServer,
with FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_MOVIE=SINGLE" ,
I have this error :
Fatal error, Failed writing image to /tmp.....

and with FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_MOVIE=MULTIPLE" ,
I have no error, but the image doesn't display.

In both cases, the swf movies are created in the temp directory; and 
they seem to be ok because I can display them in a browser.

Why don't they display in MapServer ? I have seen similar questions in 
the list but not very clear answers.
(if I turn the OUTPUTFORMAT section back to JPEG or PNG, everything is fine)

(I am running MapServer-4.0.2, Php-4.3.4, Ming-0.3a and GD-2.0.22 on 
linux Fedora Core 1 ).

Although I compiled MapServer-PhpMapScript very well, I spent days to 
build with the ming support. I tryed the RedHat9 PHPMapscript method 
from the wiki, but it always failed on ming.
(Something like :
libming.so : undefined reference to 'newSWFDBLBitmap_fromGifInput'
...
make: *** [shp2img] Error 1
)
I had to erase all references to gif in the mapserver "mapswf.c" file 
and in the ming "/src/ming.h" and "/src/blocks/bitmap.c" files.
I don't know if it's right (I don't have and don't want gif), but it 
helped me to have the mapserver "make" goes to its end.

Can this "custom" install explain the trouble I have with the swf not 
displaying ?

Thanks
Blaise
