There's your answer. There must be some kind of platform-sniffing code
(Javascript most likely) in the file that says "hey, only do this if
you're on a PC". I'd go back and check my options to make sure you're
not using anything that's platform-specific. I don't recall anything
like that in RoboHelp, so I'm a bit confused how you're getting it in
the first place. Also make sure you check Macromedia's forums.
