[Mapserver-users] Flash Capabilities

Sun Jun 15 14:19:05 EDT 2003

Here is an update:

I have a typo in the php below:

>   <PARM NAME=movie VALUE="><?php echo $url; ?>">

should be:

>   <PARM NAME=movie VALUE="<?php echo $url; ?>">

BUT that is not the whole story. The test works fine in Netscape 7.02 
but fails to display in IE 6.0 via the html, but if I drag the *.sfw 
file into the IE it will display it. My browser is on Win2K.
