I've downloaded this fixed version, but it seems to be vulnerable to
something I've discovered last week: if you take a .swf and rot13 encode
it (not all of it, so the headers are not messed up), you can crash the
user's browser.  I've tested it on Netscape 4.77 with Flash 4.0 r12 and
Galeon 1.2.5, which is based on Mozilla 1.0, with Flash 5.0 r50 (both
running on Debian unstable) and IE 6.0 (on Windows 2000) and all of them
crash instantly when I try to open the rot13-garbled file.

Check it out:
