SWF Playing and Ignoring ActionScript

Hello,

I have an odd error. I wrote an application in Adobe AIR using Flash CS5. When I press Ctrl+Enter to run the application it works perfectly. However when I then examine the folder that the SWF was generated to and run that SWF by double-clicking it and opening it in Adobe Flash Player none of my ActionScript works. I have ActionScript that pauses a certain movieclip but instead the movieclip just plays and loops through all of its frames. I have a button that reacts to a MouseClick through an addEventListener however it is not working. I have placed ALL the actionscript on the first and only frame of the first and only layer of the main stage.

Why is the ActionScript being ignored when I run the individual auto-generated SWF? It works when I do Ctrl+Enter in the IDE.

EDIT: When I install the AIR file the application works. So I am assuming this is something to do with the AIR environment - certain dependancies etc… The reason I am not satisfied with simply giving people the AIR file is that I need to put this application on the Blackberry Playbook which requires a working SWF file. So what should I do?

Thanks,
Noah NU
