[Flash CS5.5 / Air 2.6] Movieclips not showing when .air app is run on Mac

Hello,

I created an application in Flash CS5.5 using Adobe Air 2.6. When I test the app on my computer (where it was written) everything works fine. When I publish the application and run the .AIR on my computer everything works fine as well. The issues comes about when I attempt to install and run my AIR application on a Mac operating system. In this case when the application runs some graphics are visible while some aren't. Some movieclips/buttons are visible while others aren't. One example of this is the buttons. None of the buttons in the entire application are visible. When the user clicks the area where the button should be the button click event is fired and the app acts accordingly (i.e. the main menu button which can't be seen still sends the user to the main menu). What could be the problem?

I had thought of just converting the application to strictly Flash without AIR but I require AIR for the file system api as well as a couple other api components.

Thank you in advance,

Noah
