Throughout the making of my virtual pet, I was constantly checking it worked in "Test Movie". Although there had been some minor problems along the way, I had managed to fix them so that everything worked correctly in the Test Movie option.
However, when I came to play the swf file as a final check before writing it to CD, what was supposed to be the main interface was now a blank purple screen. Panic! I then previwed it in an html screen and it worked perfectly. So on the cd I put: the fla files, the swf files, and the html files, along with some instructions explaining to open the game in the html files.
BUT, when I tested the CD on a PC, the html files no longer worked. Again, panic!! So I tried playing the swf files and they worked even better than the html files had worked on a mac, because the user is able to maximise the game screen.
So I will go to babbage before presenting my project to see which files I need to open on the PC we usually present on, to save any embarassment!
