Viewing Your Project with the Web Player:

You must have MicroWorlds 2.03 for Macintosh to create projects for viewing on the Internet!

1. Create a folder on your hard disk where you will be putting the MicroWorlds project and the HTML file. This folder will contain all the files associated with the project plus the HTML file, described in steps 5 through 7.

2. Start up MicroWorlds 2.0 and check the size of your project using projectsize. Write down the name of the project and the project height and width.

3. The project must be exported with the export command to be in the right format for the Web Player. Type the following in the Command Center:
export "myproj
Replace the name, myproj, with your project name.

4. The file appears as a PC file on the Finder with the extension .mw2 added. Place this file in the folder that you have created in Step 1.

5. Start up SimpleText to type in the HTML code.

6. Type the following:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title> My MicroWorlds Project
</title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<EMBED src="???.mw2" type="application/x-mw2-plugin"
pluginspage="http://www.lcsi.ca/webplayer" width=?? height=??>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Just replace ???.mw2 with the name of your MicroWorlds project (remember to include the mw2 extension). Keep the name in the same case (upper/lowercase) as the actual name of your project file. Replace the width ?? and the height ?? with the numbers that were reported by projectsize (step 1).

7. Save the file under the following name, project.html
Replace the word project with the name of the project.

8. Quit Simpletext. Go to the Finder and make sure that your exported project and the HTML file are in the folder that you created in Step 1.

9. It is important to view the result so you can make the necessary adjustments in MicroWorlds. Open your Internet browser and get the HTML page locally.

10. To put the HTML file on a Web site, or to make your own Web site, contact your Internet Service Provider.
