Thanks Mark,
Putting everything in the dswmedia directory worked great.

Not sure if this is the solution, since it seems to work for you before
changing the path. Anyway, when running Shockwave on a local machine
(non-web server), you need to place the external assets in a folder called
"dswmedia" next to the Dir movie. Be sure to save the movie with this
directory structure before shocking it. I've heard that some folks put the
entire project in the dswmedia folder.

The reason it works when you un-check "linked" is that the Flash file is
embedded in Director's cast & you don't need to include the external file.
