Publishing Problem -- swf vs html

For some reason when I publish my swf and html file from flash, the swf file will work locally on my computer, but the html file does not function properly.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing the differences in functionality between the 2?

edit: To be more specific, when a certain hitTest happens, there is supposed to be a function call, but that function doesn’t call. It calls fine in the swf, but not in the html file.
