Flash not displayed

This might be a problem with the mime-types configuration
Open the propertes of the Internet Information Server
click the Edit button in the Computer MIME Map section
verify existance of entry for .swf files with mime-type
"application/x-shockwave-flash"

We are having a similar problem. The .html file calls an .flv file. The .flv has a viewer which is to display a .swf file. We are using Windows 2003, IIS 6.0, Coldfusion MX 6.1. If I call the .html file, the .flv file plays correctly, but when I click on the button to play the .swf file, nothing happens. If I use the path of a mapped network drive directly to the file in the browser, it plays correctly. If I play the .html file on a NT 4.0 server, IIS 5.0, and ColdFusion 5.0, it also displays correctly. I tried adding .swf file to the mime types as you suggested, but it didn't fix the problem. There are no other mime file types listed. I also checked the IIS 5.0 and it has no mime files listed either.

What do your IIS logs say? Does IIS see the request for the .swf file? What
HTTP response does it log?

Cheers

You can try this, it worked for me.

On your IIS server, uncheck "Enable Content Expiration" for the directory
that is serving the .swf file.

Here is the kb article where I read while searching for the same problem you
listed.
