I have experienced something similar & think it is to do with the different paths for design view vs runtime view.
Runtime uses the assets in the bin folder while compilation & design view use the assets relative to the project folder. Just check that assets are found in both. Alternatively you could change the file path to /resources/flashcs3/PhotoAppTheme.swf' - which should indicate the root folder. I have found this not to always work though.
