This is fracking frustrating, flash won't serve

That's when I realized, it's not the flash, it's the HOST.

Ho Ho... I'm the HOST. 

(A downside of doing your own web-hosting, intimate knowledge of your IIS server is required).

If you're reading this trying to figure out why flash files aren't be served on a Windows IIS 6 server, read this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19439.html or, here, I'll paste it here:

You basically need to define the MIME type.  Here's how:

  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
Click OK.
Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.
