can't package swf animation inside AIR app with target ipa-ad-hoc

I included a little animation today in my AIR app using a swf movie clip as below

    private var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();  // connecting animation

    private var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../../../data/ConnectingAnim.swf");

    .... code to add the loader and position it

It works fine when I deploy to my device via the USB but when I try to package it for ad hoc distribution, the resulting ipa isn't right. The screen with the animation is broken.

I am guessing packaging for the app store is probably broken too.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
