How do I target HTML5 with NME and Haxe?

Question

I have created the simple NyanCat example project that comes with NME (purely as an example!) using the following line:

nme create NyanCat

I can compile (target) to Flash and it works, with the following line:

nme test project.nmml flash

But when I try the same for HTML5, with the following line:

nme test project.nmml html5

The files are created as expected, the browser appears, but a simple grey box is shown (see image). Firebug suggests the greybox in the image is a Canvas object with opacity set to '1'. There is also a canvas object above and below this one.

Checking through firebug everything is linked (the script files are there). I have tried Chrome and Firefox.

Answer 1

Try to setup local web server and open generated output from this server, not from filesystem.

On haxeflixel.com forum this subject was discussed lately. But haxeflixel now is down, so I can't post a link.
