[mapserver-users] Error while getting flash output

[Subha Ramakrishnan]

Hi,
Sorry for that mistake. I figured out i was using the wrong mapserver 
without flash support.
However, I am still not getting the flash output. I've set the imagetype 
to "swf" and when I pass "Format=application/x-shockwave-flash" as 
mention in the MIMEType in the OutputFormat, I get an error saying 
"msWMSLoadGetMapParams: Image Handling Error.Unsupported output format 
(application/x-shockwave-flash)."
Please let me know if anyone knows the reason or solution for this problem.

Thanks a lot for the help.
