We do it all the time for testing, development and to allow remote

hosting like at Flash Central for the Flash Holiday Ring so the

developer can update his .swf file without bothering me. We have .swfs

on Servers in Europe and Africa that play from our HTML and Flash pages

servered in the US. One problem is the remote .swf has to use full paths

to refer back to the HTML page or other .swf files in the US.

Remember, MIME has to be set on both servers.

Most of the time noone can see any difference between a local and a

remotely served .swf unless there is a poor Web connection between the

host and the remote.
