Belated thanks for the replies. I've got Ming properly installed now and
managed to run the examples using PHP. The numbers don't appear by the way
(I tried a few variations on _root.status=... but no luck yet).

More importantly to me, this example does not embed the mp3: the produced
file is only  267 bytes, and if I delete the mp3 file after compiling it
fails to play anything.

In contrast when I do this with the Flash authoring tool, with the same mp3
file, I get a 133Kb swf file. Is it possible to do the same with Ming?
