I'm creating a flash site with dynamic images. There is a technote on Macromedia:
Dynamically loaded JPG files do not load into the Flash movie correctly using an AOL browser.
AOL automatically converts JPG images to ART files for a faster download. Flash is expecting a JPG file but does not find one because the browser interprets the file as an ART file, causing the JPG to not load in Flash.
Solution
Setting the MIME type of JPG files to generic binary MIME type on the server will address this issue. Consult your web server documentation information about adding or modifying the MIME type for JPG files. If using an ISP, refer them to this document so they can make the necessary changes.
Anyone know what the setting is supposed to be on the server:
.jpg : image/jpeg ???
TIA
