I have just found this software and like yourself I am amazed that it is free. I was beginning to get a feel for it but I had a few gaps (how to use sliders, for one) which your tutorial made very clear. Thank you for making the effort to help other people.
I just had one problem. When I tried to upload the files to the internet. I got an error message. 'unable to open file' and just the background was there , no content.
Anyway I appreciate that you don't operate a help desk and I will go and search for an explanation, but if you think I have made a simple mistake I would appreciate your help. I am looking forward to creating applications and I will certainly share them.

Just to let you know that I figured out what was wrong. I read a lot of useful advice on the wiki but in the end it turned out to be much easier. I had used a space in the name of the original file which meant there was a space in the html file. I tried to rename it, not remembering that it would be referenced elsewhere. So it works fine now. Many thanks for helping me get started.
