External won't load on some machines

[Andre Garzia]

Jacque,

I experienced similar problem here, I solved it by explicitly binding  
the external during the startup handler in the standalone, then it  
resumed working. Try setting the external prop in the startup  
handler, this will not solve the problem of the external not loading  
in the IDE but it might solve for standalones.
