I have a catalogue of swf which itself is a Windows projector of a FLA file
(i.e. an EXE)
This EXE contains icons (which are imported JPEG files) , and when an icon
is clicked, a relevant swf is loaded using loadMovieNum()
It was working fine on several computers so far until this week it failed
the same way on two different notebooks, both runnng XP.
As always I copied a folder with the EXE and relevant swf onto these
computers.
The EXE runs OK, but when an icon is clicked, it shows an empty screen. I
thought that theere might be some necessary applications were missing in
these XP installations. But the most puzzling thing is that if I run the EXE
from a memory stick or from CD, it works fine on both computers! The CD has
only the EXE and swf and no other files on it. Both EXE and the swf run
standalone and do not use external files

What might be the explanations?

Try moving the loadmovie command from the 1st frame say onto the 5th frame,
giving enough time for the Flash file to initialise on slow machines.

Try this first, if this doesn't solve it, then it could be because of CD
cache.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
"mental illness."

Thanks,
It did not help.
1. Moving loadmovie command from the 1st frame say onto the 5th frame - why
you think it should have help?
In my case loadmovie is called manually by clicking on an icon, usually
several seconds after the clip is loaded
2. I read http://www.flashjester.com/?section=faq&cPath=14_23#88 - is it
about problems when running an swf from CD. I have just an opposite. IS
works from CD (and from flash memory stick) but doeas not from hard drive
