the page you need to see is the result of opening the URL in

netscape and selecting VIEW  >  PAGE INFO. A secondary two framed page will

open. on the top part of the page, you will see all of the components that

make up the page.

they will look like hyperlinks. when you click on one, the bottom frame will

show you

the properties of the object. when you click on the .swf file the mime

should be set to


application/x-shockwave-flash


anything else is wrong

MIME is set CORRECT - will run smoothly


> My ISP's test page:

MIME is set WRONG - will crash browsers and OS on some machines.

(machines in the board room and on executive desktops will surely crash)
