Local files for ads using html

Question

Hello I am having a problem showing my ad on an andorid device using adobe flash cs5.5.  I have my app saved just in a folder on my desktop and it contains all the fla, swf, html, apk etc. I want to tryout ads so I signed up with admob and this reuqires the stageview class and html. So this is my code so far which doesnt work, simply all that happens is nothing shows up.
// imports
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.LocationChangeEvent;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.media.StageWebView;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.filesystem.File;
// setup variables
var _stageWebView:StageWebView;
var templateFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "ads.html" );
var workingFile:File = File.createTempFile();
templateFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
var myAdvertURL:String = workingFile.url;
createAd(null);
function createAd(event:MouseEvent):void {
    // check that _stageWebView doersn't exist
    if (! _stageWebView) {
        _stageWebView = new StageWebView () ;
        // set the size of the html 'window'
        _stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0,480,80);
        // add a listener for when the content of the StageWebView changes
        _stageWebView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onLocationChange);
        // start loading the URL
        _stageWebView.loadURL(myAdvertURL);
    // show the ad by setting it's stage property;
    _stageWebView.stage = stage;
function toggleAd(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("toggling advert",_stageWebView);
    // check that StageWebView instance exists
    if (_stageWebView) {
        trace("_stageWebView.stage:"+_stageWebView.stage);
        if (_stageWebView.stage == null) {
            //show the ad by setting the stage parameter
            _stageWebView.stage = stage;
        } else {
            // hide the ad by nulling the stage parameter
            _stageWebView.stage = null;
    } else {
        // ad StageWebView doesn't exist - show create it
        createAd(null);
function destroyAd(event:MouseEvent):void {
    // check that the instace of StageWebView exists
    if (_stageWebView) {
        trace("removing advert");
        // destroys the ad
        _stageWebView.stage = null;
        _stageWebView = null;
function onLocationChange(event:LocationChangeEvent):void {
    // check that it's not our ad URL loading
    if (_stageWebView.location != myAdvertURL) {
        // destroy the ad as the user has kindly clicked on my ad
        destroyAd(null);
        // Launch a normal browser window with the captured  URL;
        navigateToURL( new URLRequest( event.location ) );
// setup button listeners
//createAdBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,createAd);
//toggleAdBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleAd);
//destroyAdBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,destroyAd);
the ads.html contains my admob stuff which is 100% correct. I know this because if I take out this piece of code:
var templateFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "ads.html" );
var workingFile:File = File.createTempFile();
templateFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
var myAdvertURL:String = workingFile.url;
and change it to just
var myAdvertURL:String = "mydomain.com/ads.html";
it works then and the ads show up, but when the html file is local and in the foldrer when I publish it nothing happens. I tried doing this technique which is all over google by copying it over to a temporary location, but no luck. Please if someone can help me that would be awesome!
Cheers
