Flash javascript clicks not working with Plug in Version 8

Zone: Macromedia Flash

Tags: clicks, flash, 8

We have dispensed the CD to about 1000 recipients so if I cant fix the problem below then it is a big problem for me.

A web based Training Course designed using Flash movies worked perfectly upto recently (ie upto when flash plugin version 8 came out)!!!

A web based Training Course is composed of flash files embedded in HTML page. Clicking on some buttons on the Flash movies caused certain javascript functions to execute. These javascript functions were written as part of the HTML (ie not in the flash movie).

This still all works fine on computers with Flash Plugin 7 installed, but doesnt work when Flash Plugin 8 installed.

The funny thing is: the functionality still works fine (for Flash Plugin 7 or 8) when the files are placed on a web-server (i.e. called over http). It is only when running the course from a CD (or from a folder on my hard drive) that the functionality is broken.

Q1: So, is there a setting in Internet Explorer that i can tweak to get the functionality working again?
Q2: What should i have done in the first place to protect myself against this?

Thanks in advance.

flash code here:
