There maybe.  IIRC There are some IIS settings that can cause .cfswf 
output to fail.  I believe at least one cause is that IIS has been 
configured to check for the existence of files before handing off the 
request.  This causes an issue in the default configuration because 
there is no actual swf files created for the forms, they are created in 
the server's memory by ColdFusion and delivered to the browser as swf 
content.

I've seen workarounds posted in blogs, some Googling should turn one up.
