Re: ming simply doesnt work...

What you are getting is actually the proof that Ming on your server=20
works very fine!

The "junk" that you see is the Flash movie that you just generated (FWS=20
is the "magic" for Flash SWF files) and guess what, the bigger what you=20
are trying to generate is and the longer the "junk" you see.

What you are missing is the information that what you are trying to=20
send to the client is a SWF file.

Make sure you add the following line to your php script:

   header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');

BEFORE you output the movie.
