Flash vs. MapScript support

[Mike Leahy]

Hello again,

I guess I could have helped myself a long time ago by trying the stable 
version of MapServer.  I just tried 4.6.2, and it worked without any 
problems - I also downloaded a new nightly build and that worked as 
well.  Either something was unstable with the previous mapserver build I 
was working on (an earlier nightly release), or I had simply broken 
something on my own without realizing it.

Thanks again for the reply,
Mike
