I get a hint when I have no pix, wierd message boxes open up or my

browser crashes. Then I check using technique in MM 12696. Links to why

MIME is needed, how to test and how to set are all at:

http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Index.htm#Server

Every Flash Developer should know if his server has the MIME set for

Flash and the only way to do this is by a proper test. I have even

provided a set of files to make testing of MIME extremely fast and easy.

These files can be used to monitor whether the MIME has been set

correctly on a server and are 100% reliable. They require a Flash

capable browser other than MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT. If you only have MSIE

3+ Win 95/98/NT just post a message to a friend or the List. If you have

the test files up, it will take only seconds to determine if the MIME is

set or not.

Yes, there is no way to know if your browser will work correctly if the

MIME is not set (except for MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT) except by checking.
