    Flash Movie Security?

    tweaked_eye Community Member
      I am stumped....I am trying to play a basic FLASH movie on a clients
      website.....their hosting is more advanced than the rest of my
      client/hosting plans.....I can play this movie on any of my other sites but
      this particular hosting plan I cannot...so, I assumed there is some sort of
      security setting as I subbed out to a guy for a PHP/membership
      database/login feature.

      So, originally, I just added the code on the page where I wanted it to no
      avail...then, I created a sub-folder called flash and changed the
      permissions to 777. Still nothing with all the standalone files.

      My other sites are Linux and this one is a Windows server.

      What is going on?

      TIA!

          One quick thing to try: make sure the IIS server has a mime type set for .swf files. If you're playing Flash video, make sure they're is a mime type set for .flv as well.

            also - make sure you are uploading the JS file that gets auto-published with flash.

              Thanks gentlemen...Yes, I did upload the AC_RunActiveContent.js file....have no idea about the MIME....Interland (web.com) is the host and their knowledge base says they authorize all types of files.

                YOU nailed it Frank...I logged in and found the FLV was not listed...THANKS A MILLION!
