Re: FLASH: MIME is very Important

[Adam Bruce]

John, 

     Despite the fact I felt you were more than a little rude in your 

response to my post, I do appreciate you bringing this oversite by my 

Sys Admin to light.  I downloaded your test page and sure enough the top 

one was a broken plug-in while the bottom one worked fine. so you're 

right the MIME is not set correctly.  Upon reflection I remember we set 

the MIME right before Flash 2 debuted so we probably have it set for 

*.SPL and not *.SWF

   Again, thank you for bringing this to light but I hope in the future 

you are a little less adversarial about it.
