not to spoil the fun, but the International Flag Code is hardly ever used to spell anything. Each combination of flags has its own meaning (very seldom in any way related to the letters used).
I don’t have handy the full IFC manual to decode “AMF”, but I bet it has a meaning and it is different from the one used in the Morse code. E.g. all three letter codes starting with M are reserved for medical messages (MIT – patient has persistent hiccoughs, or MTD32 – You should give aspirin tablets, or (an interesting one) MGF – patient has cut throat).
