Hiya Adam,


Even though the original poster made it blatently clear maybe even a little

impolite

about the MIME not being set, it is still your responsibilty to contact your

administrator

and have them set the MIME type for Netscape browsers. If not, your viewers

with have problems viewing your site even though they've taken the time to

DL the plug-in and view your work. More and more FLashers need to be aware

of this simple

solution. If not, viewers to these sites(the general public) will think that

Flash is a hassle or doesnt always work properly. If that reputation is

built up, we all suffer. Its a simple solution that will ensure the access

to your site for everyone. Your Admin, should set this for you with no

problem.
