Lag. The game thought you were still moving.
You know how you have to stand still for an annoyingly long time before you can start performing, activate a deed, or call up the spaceport ticket collector window? It's because the game takes that long to confirm that you're standing still.
Fireworks can't be used while moving, only instead of getting an error message when you try, you simply use up a firework without it doing anything. I haven't tried it with packages. Those either work the same way or simply do not work at all, which is what you seem to be encountering.
I'd recommend waiting longer before trying to fire it off.

I'd recommend making a macro and putting fireworks in a toolbar pane..Show packages are simply not worth it..although I did sell them back when i was a Noob and made some decent cash off of em

There are some... issues with the fireworks show package. Yes, they are bugged in the sense that they don't always work, but it is possible to get them to work. Try waiting for a bit or changing locations before attempting to set them off. People have all kinds of different theories as to what works and what doesn't; the most common piece of advice I hear is to try launching them from the roof of a PA hall. I've done numerous experiments with these packages and I have never found any rime or reason behind why they'll sometimes work and sometimes not.
The best piece of advice anyone can give you: "Be patient." They will eventually work, it's just a question of whether you care to hang on to them long enough to get them to work. Next time, instead of the packages, place your standard fireworks in your toolbar and just start mashing buttons to make your own show.
Good luck!

try putting the full show launcher in a hot key and launching it from there.
