Serving Shockwave Flash Content
Shockwave Flash It is easy to include Shockwave Flash multimedia presentations on your web site. You can use Flash content to add high-impact graphics, animation, and interactivity to your web site.

Updating Your Web Server MIME Types

You may need to add the following MIME types to your /www/conf/mime.types file:
application/x-shockwave-flash swf cab application/futuresplash spl
NOTE: After you make changes to the mime.types file, you need to Restart your Apache Web Server so that the changes are recognized. You can do this by connecting to your Virtual Server and executing the command restart_apache. % restart_apache

Embedding Flash Content in a Web Page

In order to embed your filename.swf Flash content in a web page, include at least the following HTML code:
<OBJECT WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="filename.swf">
<EMBED SRC="filename.swf">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
The OBJECT tags are for Microsoft Internet Explorer and the EMBED tags are for Netscape smalltextator. Substitute the filename of your Flash content for filename.swf. You can adjust and add other paramaters as you like.
