Configuring a server for Flash Player

For users to view your Flash content on the web, the web server must be properly configured to
recognize SWF files.
Your server may already be configured properly. To test server configuration, see TechNote 4151
on the Macromedia Flash Support Center at
tn4151.html. 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
so that the server can identify files with the .swf extension as Shockwave Flash files.
