	I had this problem with Communicator after installing Flash 3, 

and the way I fixed it was to make sure that 


	TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" 


	was inserted inside my EMBED tag, along with the typical SRC 

statement.  If this is left out, it seems that Netscape tries to look for 

a plugin for the text/plain MIME type and complains about it.
