Yes Nutrox pretty sure the file is not being cached because the problem was happening on the production enviroment and there it never worked and it was always being compressed by IIS. So anyway if it was being catched it was compressed.
At the begining of this problem I was blaming for this issue the IE6 for not decompressing the response since in Firefox was working and on the response header was the same for both browsers and it said that was gzipped. Now the response it's not gzipped and works in both browsers, the swf has always been the same, so that's what leads me to think that the browser is performing an automatic decompression. On the request both browsers has always sent on it's header "accept-encoding GZIP,Defalte".
The problem about all this is that doesn't seems clear when the swf client could be receiving gzipped data and when the browser should decompress it or not.
This must follow some rule
