Flash FLV files

[RFH Customer: Fruitbat]

Hi

Just wondering if there was any reason that I can't seem to link to a flash video (.flv) file on the server. The file is in place at http://www.no-thrills.co.uk/vid.flv but I can't access it in Flash or in IE. I have another flv stored on another server and it can be accessed with Flash and using IE offers the save or run option. Is this a windows 2003 issue or something at my end?

Thanks

Nigel

You need to add a mime type for the FLV file in Helm

Thanks again Warren

So much to learn, so little time :o

No problem

Why is it that some file extentions need to be added in HELM as mime type?

[Staff: Warren Ashcroft]

Most of the default ones are already recognized by the web server, just those obscure ones that need adding. Its a security thing, prevents the web server from serving files that it doesn't recognise.

I guess, you may need to create a kind of FLV player, which is a special
Flash movie that reads the FLV file ....

Do some googling looking for flv player...
