It sounds like your QuickTime plugin has been set to handle the SWF MIME

type, then. In most versions you can change this setting in your Netscape

Preferences dialog, in the "Applications" page. (Another place that can

have similar controls is your QuickTime Control Panel, depending on

versions.)


If you set it back to the default of using the Flash Player to render SWFs,

then the browser should call up the faster and more functional Flash Player

for those files.
