Hi folks,

I know that there are by far more people out there not iis/asp.net, and not all of this tiny rest are having to deal with the server (2003 and iis 6.0 that is).

Anyway, I was just setting up a flash application that uses flash video. So do a bit of surrounding html, upload the app and the .flv vids and ... done.

Oh bugger, it would have been so good if it would have worked.

The first thing I thought it has something to do with my code, but on my local iis it worked like a charm.
The best thing was, the file gave me a 404 when I tried to access it via the URL I used in the player ...

A good deal of time later i finally found this: How to set up .flv files on iis 6.0.

Here's the solution (copied from the above link, though)

1. On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
2. Expand the Local Computer Server.
3. Right-click the local computer server and select Properties.
4. Select the MIME Types tab.
5. Click New and enter the following information:
   • Associated Extension box: .FLV
   • MIME Type box:flv-application/octet-stream
6. Click OK.
7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

So here we are, waiting for the first visitors and writing about game development in flash, finished projects, flash news, flash tools, flash ... I guess, you get the point.

We, that is the current team behind gaming your way, will try to keep this thing interesting and we hope you don't mind adding a piece of code, an image or a link to something we like (and in most cases is related to flash in some way).

so stay tuned ...
