the SWF format has some limitations on gradients. MING's interface 
SWFGradient_addEntry() has a man page entry stating:

SWF <= 7 allows up to 8 control points
SWF >= 8 allows up to 15 control points

In order to use up to 15 gradient entries you should also set the 
SWFShape version to 4:

shape->useVersion(SWF_SHAPE4);

Actually this part was missing in the interface documentation. I've just 
rendered your example and it looks OK to me.

Cheers
