Re: FLASH: I have a problem with flash crashing.

[Michael Penne]

MIME is still not set on yer server (should be

application/x-shockwave-flash, w/as (as of 2:57 Pac time I get

'currently unknown') contact your sys admin again-ps you can check it

by doing View:Page Info in Netscape. 


Otherwise ran fine here, on a Mac G3, T1;-). You may want to apply a

taste check though... (sorry, been a while since I saw someone use a

blink tag, and that woman eating an apple over and over again gets old

real fast....)


PS maybe send the sys admin some cheetos next time, they say they like

that.....

Most likely they have flash 3 plug if they lose mp3 compressed sound.

See moock.org for a flash 4 detector.

See the various tech notes on optimizing, and get Flash 4 Magic, has a

nice section on making sure your pre-loader actually pre-loads

everything.
