Inserting Flash and Shockwave Elements 25
When you create a Flash Text object, Dreamweaver makes a GIF representation that can be displayed during
layout??”you may notice some roughness in the lines, especially if you resize the object. You can, at any
time, click Play on the Flash Text Property inspector (or choose Preview in Browser) to see the true Flash
object with its smooth vector shape.
Configuring MIME Types
As with any plugin, your Web server has to have the correct MIME types set before Shockwave files can be
properly served to your users. If your Web page plays Shockwave and Flash movies locally, but not
remotely, chances are good that the correct MIME types need to be added. The system administrator
generally handles configuring MIME types.
The system administrator needs to know the following information to be able to correctly configure the
MIME types:
n Shockwave: application/x-director (.dcr, .dir, .dxr)
n Flash: application/x-shockwave-flash (.swf)
Both Shockwave and Flash are popular plugins, and it??™s likely that the Web server is already configured to
recognize the appropriate file types.
