I see the issue as well on Windows/Firefox.  According to the Frame Info dialog for the iframe that the flash content is in that is being served as text/plain.  So it's a server issue.

I just installed Shockwave Flash 9.0 r18 on my Intel Mac and the above URL / Flash loads properly.  Probably the server was fixed.

Nothing has changed that I can see.  I'm still getting text/plain.

Oh and I just do bug triage.

Brian - http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ will tell you what version flash you are running.

Do you still see this using a recent nightly build and what version flash?
