Re: shockwave flash crashing netscape

[John Croteau]

Hi James,


  I see your Flash and it didn't crash on me either using Netscape but

that is irrelavent.

The MIME is NOT set on your server, if the MIME is not set on a server

Netscape and other browsers may or may not display Flash correctly, it

may even crash some browsers (because the file is corrupted on

download). Some will display correctly if you include 

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  which you did. See the Flash Tech

Resource under Servers (link below) for details on how to set your

server (or how to get it set).


To check the MIME:

Use Netscape 3+ To check the reported MIME type of a file View > Page

Info (or Document Info)  then click on the .swf file and then you will

see

the file's MIME type in the lower window. It should be

application/x-shockwave-flash. Bad MIME setting often show as text/html

or application/octet-stream. Note the file must be completely loaded

into disk cache before results are available. Files over 64K in Netscape

2 and 3 will normally not cache to disk and therefore cannot be used to

test the MIME.
