Indeed. The detection rules are:

0       string          FWS             Macromedia Flash data,
> 3      byte            x               version %d
!:mime  application/x-shockwave-flash
0       string          CWS             Macromedia Flash data (compressed),
!:mime  application/x-shockwave-flash
> 3      byte            x               version %d

So any file starting with "FWS", "CWS" or "FLV" is classified as 
Macromedia Flash data. :(
