Re: netscape problem

[John Croteau]

Hi Xico,

Most likely the MIME is not set on your server.


If the MIME is not set on a server Netscape and other browsers (except

MSIE 3/4 Win95/NT) may or may not display Flash correctly. Some will

display correctly if you include type="application/x-shockwave-flash".


See the Flash Tech Resource under Servers (link below) for details on

how to set the MIME on your server (or how to get it set).


To check the MIME:

Use Netscape 3+ To check the reported MIME type of a file View > Page

Info (or Document Info)  then click on the .swf file and then you will

see the file's MIME type in the lower window. It should be

application/x-shockwave-flash. Bad MIME setting often show as text/html

or application/octet-stream. Note the file must be completely loaded

into disk cache before results are available. Files over 64K in Netscape

2 and 3 will normally not cache to disk and therefore cannot be used to

test the MIME.
