So whenever I cmd+enter to test a movie in flash, just get a blank swf saying movie not loaded. Happens with most of my fla’s, even older ones.

When I truly export it, it does the same thing. Any ideas why?

Fixed.

I was working with files on an external hard drive, when I moved the .fla to my hard drive and exported it worked just fine.
