FLASH: RE: Please check my site

[flashstuff]

Hi John, 


Firstly thanks for the response. 

I am a bit new to Flash and didn't know that the MIME was not set,

or what this really means, but I have an idea from the URL you pointed me to.

Sorry to anyone who was caused problems by this. I will contact my 

ISP you suggest. 

I did checked Fortune City where I a "free" account and they list

"MIME Types supported by FortuneCity...

application/x-shockwave-flash swf"

which I assume means that the MIME has been set by them.

On the strength of this assumption I uploaded the site to Fortune City

at:

http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/apple/151/fcupload/1ivc/index.htm

and checked it again with MSIE4/NS4 on WIN95 and it worked fine.


I also uploaded some work in progress at:

http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/apple/151/fcupload/flash/flash.htm

But this need a version 4 browser Shockwave and sound on your PC for best results.


Am I right in thinking that the MIME has been set at Fortune City and that 

these pages can be viewed safely now?


All the best

Gazza
