Table tools v2 copy/xls/csv/pdf dont work

Hi I just downloaded the table tools v 2 and followed all the documentation to plug it/customize it on my site. Unfortunately only the print button is working and the other 4 buttons are not working. I looked in firefox error console
and i see the following error:

Error: uncaught exception: Unable to load SWF file - please check the SWF path

and am getting this error as well:

b is null
Source File: http://localhost/shlk/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js
Line: 61

I looked at the datatables website and buttons there work properly when accessed from my browser (i can save pdf, csv, xls, and copy to clipboard).

Any ideas?
