Re: ScriptAlias or MIME

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI,  I had to use the absolute path the flash file and a relative path for
the data url.  (Thanks for those suggestions!).  I also had to put in the
mime type for flash files in my Apache config.

With all the possible variables out there for any programming task, but most
especially for anything web-related, it's a wonder anyone ever gets anything
to work.

Probably already been answered, but you specify:

src="TheFlashFile.swf....

That means it's going to use the current directory in the
path.  And I'm betting that the page this is displayed with
is a cgi program with /cgi-bin or something in the URL. 

I always (well, 99% of the time) use qualified paths in
images, source, css, SSI, etc...
