CS4 file saving

I am a high school web design teacher and quite the novice with CS4 (I felt very comfortable with Macromedia 8).

I have students whose flash file works until it is saved. For instance, they create a untitled.fla file, press ctrl + enter and the swf file plays perfectly.

At the end of class they save it, the next day they open it, and none of the AS is executed. The swf file plays as if no AS was ever written.

To make things even more puzzling, the file will play from different drives. For instance, if the .fla file is saved to a thumb drive, everything works. If the file is placed on the desktop everything works. If the same file is placed in a different students directory, everything works.

I’ve contacted Adobe support, they directed me to read their (worthless) forums. I have recontacted their support trying to find some real assistance.

I know this is the second time I posted with this problem. Any new suggestions will be appreciated.
