Configuring a server for the Flash Player
For a user to view your Flash movie on the Web, the Web server must be properly configured to
recognize the SWF file as a Flash movie.
Your server may already be configured properly. If your server is not properly configured, follow
the procedure below to configure it.
Configuring a server establishes the appropriate Multipart Internet Mail Extension (MIME) types
for the server to identify files with the SWF suffix as Shockwave Flash files.
A browser that receives the correct MIME type can load the appropriate plug-in, control, or
helper application to process and properly display the incoming data. If the MIME type is
missing or not properly delivered by the server, the browser might display an error message or a blank window with a puzzle piece icon.

Note: When you publish a Flash movie, you must configure the movie for the Flash Player in order for users to view the movie. See Chapter 20, “Publishing,” on page 365. To configure a server for the Flash Player, do one of the following:

• If your site is established through an Internet service provider, contact them and request that the MIME type application/x-shockwave-flash with the SWF suffix be added to the server.

• If you are administering your own server, consult the documentation for your Web server
software for instructions on adding or configuring MIME types.
