Has anyone successfuly added any Quicktime, VRML, or other advanced content to their site.[nbsp][nbsp]Justin advised me to use a .htaccess file to configure the proper MIME types, but I still can not get it to work.[nbsp][nbsp]I am wondering if I am doing something stupid that someone else has already figured out.[nbsp][nbsp]Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

hi brian,

you can check out the sample page i set up to demonstrate a quicktime movie at: http://jakgraphic.com/quicktime.html

(be sure to download your movie to your server... i know sounds simplistic, but easy to do) ;)

you shouldn't have to change the .htaccess file. i set this up without making any changes to the futurequest server.

if you need more help, just lemme know, or you can check out

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring

for a lot of resources on the wonderful world of quicktime.

cheers,

julie

p.s. it also helps to have a link to the apple site to download the quicktime plug-in for older browser versions (in all different OS varieties) that haven't downloaded it.

Just a follow up note for those interested, the problem ended up being the the content was not "flattened" for distribution to multiple platforms.[nbsp][nbsp]So while it would work fine on my Mac, it would break once it got onto the server. Must be a File System thing, but I do not know what.[nbsp][nbsp]So if anyone ever has this problem, may you find this and save yourself some hair (almost pulled mine out).

Thanks

Brian
