title: Enabling .swf files on Apache
body: <p>I have no experience with swf files or actionscript prior to this. I updated mysql, apache, and php today on a linux server (SUSE 10). I've managed to get everything up and running correctly... except a few swf pages. I have a feeling it has to do with the configuration of apache as the pages worked prior to the updates I performed today, and now do not. </p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=211719" rel="nofollow">http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=211719</a> and <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/swf-flash-file-not-openning-from-linux-apache-server-pls-suggest-709567/" rel="nofollow">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/swf-flash-file-not-openning-from-linux-apache-server-pls-suggest-709567/</a> that all discussed my problem and I followed their changes. </p>
  
  <p>My httpd.conf currently contains 
  AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf</p>
  
  <p>also, LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so is in the httpd.conf.</p>
  
  <p>In the mime.types, I have
  application/x-shockwave-flash swf</p>
  
  <p>Is this all that is necessary to enable swfs? I haven't downloaded any packages for them or anything. I feel like I must be missing something.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea why the .swf pages aren't loading properly? They somewhat appear to be "hanging". I don't know how actionscript/swfs work, but if I visit the main swf page, it somewhat loads. I fill in some information and press submit, and it gets "stuck" (cursor goes away if mousing over the page). Any help would be much appreciated. PM for a link to the site. </p>
