Photoshop error while making flags

[Classique]

While trying to make some flags today, Photoshop gives me the following error message: "Could not complete the Displace command because the file is empty".
This message pops up after the desired image is placed onto the flag, but before it is shaded. I have tried using flags.atn by both MKJ and Korath, but both give the same error. Flag creation has always worked in the past. Any ideas?

I always get that error myself, but upon continuing the flag is still created properly.

The displace file (displace.psd), put it on C:\WINDOWS\desktop\displace.psd

Or you could just ask it to stop when the error comes. Then:

Start action recording, choose Filter->Distort->Displace...
The options should be the one you're needing, something 3-ish
When it asks for the file, find displace.psd (given that you have it, should be a part of the flag template package).
Stop recording, delete the old action (which is identical except for the location of displace.psd)

EDIT: Just to check, the displace options seems to be:
Horizontal Scale: 3
Vertical Scale: 3
displacement map: Stretch To Fit
undefined areas: Repeat Edge Pixels
Location: "where you prefer"

Thanks for that suggestion, Kaigon. I removed the original Displace command from flags.atn, replaced it with your procedure, and saved it as flags2.atn. The flags work correctly again.
