Re: FLASH: FLASH embeds don't work with IE4 Mac

[Creative Factory (Joe Troha)]

Hello david and all other flashers who may be able to help...


Exuce us, we are a little new to Flash here, so our apology if this topic has

already been covered a hundred times before.


We have an example where our Flash 3.0 test is on our server and still cannot

be viewed from IE 4.01 MAC??

We assumed the problem was in the structure of the HTML file which was simply

generated by Aftershock.

I havent yet been able to fix this problem, however do you think it could be a

MIME setting problem on our server??


We would appreciate any thoughts or solutions from the experts : )


A very big thanks in advance..


Joseph Troha.
