FLASH: Response from Web Host re:mime setting

[Keenwitted]

Hello Flashers,


I'm learning Flash and about to revamp my website (www.big.com (which 

currently only has a short Director animation on it). After learning all the 

problems re:MIME  SETTINGS, i emailed my host service and got the following 

answer. Is this valid or are they giving me the runaround and I need to 

switch? Thanks in advance to the Mime enlightened experts.  




"Erm... the site in question appears to use Flash types and I don't believe

they make a Flash plugin for UNIX, so this doesn't do much good.


If you need to add MIME types to your site, this is quite simple to do.  All

you need to do is to create a .htaccess file containing the proper MIME types,

and upload it to your web directory, /usr/www/users/bigq in ASCII mode.

Instructions on setting up the MIME types are at

http://support.pair.com/faq/webserver.html.


Note that there are already many MIME types installed on the server; you will

likely want to check the list at http://support.pair.com/faq/mime.txt first.
