Shockwave has security restrictions which restrict the ability of the
shockwave to pull data from a local hard drive. Pathnames only work locally
when they include a "dswmedia" directory. So, put the movies within a
directory named "dswmedia", and they should be able to find one another.
Projectors do not have the same restrictions, so the "dswmedia" folder is
unecessary.
