Re: ming simply doesnt work...

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

The "junk" that you see is the Flash movie that you just generated (FWS 
is the "magic" for Flash SWF files) and guess what, the bigger what you 
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 
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.
