:confused; I am developing a Flash solution that displays .FLV videos for a
customer whose web host won't enable the .FLV MIME type on their Windows 2003
Server. Additionally, the Flash uses a third party component that doesn't
support video streamed from the Flash Streaming Server so the videos are the
regular download. Is there a way to 'serve' the Flash/.FLV files from another
server that DOES support .FLV files, and incorporate my flash piece into their
page which is served on a server that doesn't support the .FLV MIME type? The
only thing I've been able to come up with is to jump to the other server for
serving that page, then jump back to their site for everything else.
Unfortunately, they want to use this on their home page which makes it harder
to leave their site. Also, their page incorporates proprietary ASPX content
elements from their web server which I don't believe I could support if the
page was hosted elsewhere. Basically, I need a way to have my Flash file
working as an 'include' file on their server, but since their server doesn't
know what to do with the .FLV MIME type, I don't know if there is any way to
get this to work. Any ideas of help? Thanks!

My SWF file uses a third-party component that loads local .flv files. The SWF
plays fine on my development machine and on my web server which has the .FLV
MIME type added. Unfortunately, if you have a server that does not have this
MIME type added, the SWF will play but the .FLV files will not. Apparently the
issue is that the IIS web server doesn't know what to do with files with that
extension so it ignores them by default. You have to identify the .FLV MIME
type in the server properties in order for the server to allow the files
through. I've added a inline frame (IFRAME) to the web page and pulled a web
page from my server which serves the SWF and FLVs and this works, however, not
all browsers support IFRAME tags so I'm wondering if anyone knows another
solution. Thanks!

You can't playback FLV in the browser, not even Flash player itself can run them
These are file to be run strictly within SWF file, either imported or dynamically loaded.
Not to be run by itself.
I don't believe you need MIME type setting at all as this is not file you actually run.
You should be loading it within SWF so the only MIME you need is for Shockwave Flash
