Hello! I’m new here, and I’m asking for your help… I made a flash presentation, and I created the exe file, but the problem is, if I run the exe file on my local directory (from my pc) I can’t load any of the external files, but If I run the swf, I can load them, also If I run the exe file from an external device the external movies are loaded (CD, USB memory).  
Can someone tell me why is that? Where is the problem? Why I’m having that problem with my exe file if I run it on my PC?
