Why does tabletools copy to excel not work when I simply download the package and run it on desktop?

I downloaded this package: http://datatables.net/releases/DataTables-1.10.2.zip

I unzipped it on my desktop

I open this page: C:\Users\meganDesktop\DataTables-1.10.2\extensions\TableTools\examples\defaults.html

Nothing happens when I click on CSV or Excel. Tried IE and Chrome

I know that I can access the swf because I am accessing the css properly, and both swf and css have similar paths:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/jquery.dataTables.css">

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
"dom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
"tableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "../swf/copy_csv_xls.swf"
}

} );

} );

Thanks
