Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / September 2005

I looked at the NetscapeMoviePlugin and some other examples. I know
have just basic code that will write to a file the entry and exit
points. Could someone explain what I have wrong. I keep thinking the
.plist is wrong or something in my compile is wrong. I have the build
setup so tha it will produce a .plugin. I copy that into the
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory and run the Html in Safari 2.0.1.
It tells me:
The page "PluginTest.htm" has content of MIME type
"application/x-gc-plugin". Because you don't have a plug-in
installed for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed.

Here is my source for the project.
Thanks in advance

Cheers
