Hi, Rusty.


The MIME is set by your web server administrator, not by anything in your

Flash files.  It tells visitors' browsers what type of content is being

sent over the internet. It's not hard for the administrator to do, it just

requires adding a line of code to their server software.  But they may want

to do it at a time when they're doing routine maintenance to the system,

and if they're really shy about altering systems they may not want to do it

at all.  In which case you need another server.


Take a look at:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/mimetype_check.htm

to learn how to see if the correct MIME type has been set on your server.

That part is incredibly simple to do, and just requires viewing "Page Info"

under Netscape.
