Sorry. I'm just really annoyed because I've been trying to figure this out for over a year.
I can't use ClarisWorks because I don't own it. AppleWorks is the closest thing I have to it. Here is the problem:
I make a level. It looks fine, should work OK. I save it and open a level thingy (you know, those things you load into Avara, like the Net Levels file?) with ResEdit. I set the little fields to work with my level. I choose file in the radio button. I then quit ResEdit, saving first, and open my level thingy in Avara. I click the level. Nothing happens. A blank sky appears with blank ground underneath. The player doesn't even come up, though I set everything in my level correctly. I even tried a pre-made level, copied, and pasted all the info, and that didn't work either.
