You shouldn't have had an unknown MIME type for the file.

Does the file have the extension: "swf"?  If not, what is the extension?

The correct MIME type for "*.swf" is "application/x-shockwave-flash"

If you have MUNGed that, you should open the Konqueror KDM ("Settings -> 
Configure Konqueror" in Konqueror) and go to the "File Associations" 
section and fix it.

If I Understand Correctly.  There is a dictionary for these somewhere on 
the web; try Google.

Short answer is: "/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf", but the question is what 
to add to that file.

Have you tried the MPlayer Dox or Google?
