Re: FLASH: flashing before the movie begins

[Helen Triolo]

I sound like a broken record on this subject, but you haven't got the

MIME type set right on your server.  It's currently undefined for swf's

(open the page in Netscape and do View, Page Info) and needs to be set

to x-shockwave-flash.  You should also remove that bgcolor statement

since it shows up as content on the page in NN.


(The flashing thing sounds familiar too, but I can't think what the

solution was.  Maybe fixing the mime type will help.  Or maybe it was

pushing the start content back to frame 2 from frame 1?  I can't

remember, but I can see why you'd have trouble searching for a specific

technote by searching on "flash" at the flash support page).


Love your email name, btw!


Regards,

Helen
