Something odd is going on...

Alrighty. I suppose this might be better suited in General Help, but I wasn't sure, so I thought it'd get a better reception in here.

Anyway, I have a guestbook on my site. Recently, I switched DNS servers, so I had to re-upload all my files. After uploading everything, I tried to test out my guestbook, and something i've never seen happened: the browser window prompts me to download 'GuestBook.swf'. Normally, IE would just display the .swf, and it wouldn't prompt a download.

I tested it out in Mozilla, and it works fine there.

Anybody know why that might be happening?

It does the same for me
<edit>
It does it for all of the pop-up .swfs

I cant view .swf files in browsers they need to be embedded in an html file.

It could be the way the new server is set up. In other words Instead of opening .swf in IE the server sets it so it downloads automatically.

Some sites do this on purpose for downloading images (.jpg) or for downloading text files.

If it is not that then ???
If it is.. I don't know how to fix it... sorry
