For some reason my slideshow gallery will not work with specific swf files. I can’t find any correlation between the ones that work and the ones that don’t work - stage size, length, as3 version, actions, ect don’t seem to matter.

I’m tempted to chalk to up to a bug in CS4 and try to install CS3, but I was wondering if anyone has ran into this before.
