MIT App Inventor Help

I have been trying to load my website in app inventor in web browser but it didn't seem to load then I found it should be opened as localhost in order to work since I am making a 3D web app on it. I have no idea how to do it. Pls help.

upload the html and js to media, then you can load the html by http://localhost/aaa.html

Thanks for answering. What if I made folder in assets and I want to open it then how should the location name change?

5

media/ asset do not support sub folders. all files on same level.

6

So where do you think I can put the folders and access it then how do I access them as localhost? Can you give example?

7

are you sure?
you always can download the project (aia file) open it using 7zip, copy sub folders and their files into the folder /assets and upload the modified project back into App Inventor

If you have a folder structure for your web site/app, you will probably need to create the folder structure in your ASD, or download a zip of the site, and unzip it to your ASD. You should then be able to call the start page using "file:///.../index.html"

localhost has to load html from asset. So change your html file where load the js/other assets file from same level of html file, or load from Internet.
