Well I solved my own problem (which had to occur right after I posted on this forum)... Due to publishing for Flash Player 8.0 you need to change the security settings on your local computer. If you publish across a network or post it on a site it should work without any issues. If anyone has the same problem and does not know how to change their flash security settings just go to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplay er/help/settings_manager.htmland follow the instructions. Hope I helped others in the future with the same issue!
