Configuring the Server

Although no special server software is necessary to serve standard Flash files, you will need to configure your server to recognize a new MIME type. The following information will suit the needs of most servers:

Type/subtype: application/x-shockwave-flash
File extension for Flash: .swf

The specific syntax for configuration varies for different servers, so coordinate with your system administrator and see Macromedia’s site for further support information.
