Thanks for any help

a) try using absolute paths, just so you can see if the thing works
b) is it perhaps that relative filenames should be relative to the html file and not the swf?
I am only learning now myself but I hope this will be useful.
It doesn't sound like the problem has anything to do with Flash, but rather that your web server recognizes .html files as web pages but not .htm files. It's unusual that .htm would not be set properly, but it does match the behavior you describe.
If the web server does not indicate the MIME type, or says that it is unknown, Internet Explorer on Windows tries to guess the type based on the first few bytes of the document, whereas Firefox forces you to save the page. the former is arguably more user-friendly, but the latter is definitely more secure.
Check with your server administrator to see if the MIME type for .htm is set to text/html, or if you use Apache, add the line
AddType text/html .html .htm
to the .htaccess file in your web root directory.
Make sure you have flash player
