Author LoadMovie fails in .hta page

We have developed a .hta application that embeds .swf movies.
There is a default .swf movie loaded from the beginning, with the .hta page.
When the user clicks on a button, the content of the embedded object is changed and another .swf movie is displayed in the same place.

The jscript code looks like this :

aID.LoadMovie(0, zePath);

aID being the ID of the flash object in the page,
zePath being the relative path of the Flash .swf file.

This works perfectly on 99.9 % of the Windows platforms.
However, it fails on a very recent WinXP machine, with IE 6.0.2600.000 and Flash player installed.
The default .swf movie disappears, and the .swf movie that should take its place does not appear.
There is no error message.

I wondered if anyone had seen anything like this before.
Could it be some security restriction of some kind?

Thank you for your help.
