After the mInstallRequiredTableScripts command rewind your movie or place the playback head one frame before the frame where the table starts.
The LDM contains the scripts. You must make sure, that the movie has "the time" to load the scripts from te LDM before they are used by the table scripts. Note, that the scripts remain loaded (like regular scriptmembers in your castlib) until the next "recompile all scripts" command.

Since I opened the source recently, I am planning to skip the self install version, which "hides" the scripts in the LDM. Although this not only has the advantage of my scripts being protected, it also has the advantage, that all those script monsters, required to drive the thing don't clutter your castlib.

But I understand, that for other reasons it is more handy to have the open scripts in the castlib. I will recommend a dedicated castlib for it, so updates will be easier then.
