Another important part of this is if the Extension is marked as SWF for

the Flash file type (Edit->preference->navigator->application), if it is

blank or the Quicktime player also has an SWF extension included then

you need to edit the the Quicktime file type, the Flash type or delete

and reinstall the Flash file type since the latest file type should

override older setting of the same file type.
