RE: FLASH: Setting MIMI Type

[Chris Tifer]

Once again you all gave a quick reply, even though I was a fool and put

MIMI, not MIME.  Thanks a lot.  I'll be taking a look at the link below to

find out how to set it for our server here at work.

here is some valuable info about MIME that i saved from an earlier posting

from John C.

1) That MIME is important to be set to prevent such problems as crashing

browsers.

2) That it is a setting made by the administrator of your server.

3) That just seeing a picture in Netscape is no indication of whether

the MIME is set properly for Flash orNOT.

4) That setting the MIME actually takes less than 5 minutes and needs to

be set only once for Flash.

5) That there are 2 easy ways to test for MIME.

6) That detailed information about MIME is available for users and

Webmasters at the Flash Tech Resource including how to set it on most

servers.
