HTML5 Black screen on HTML5, sounds still play

I'm working on a simple game now with grid-based movement.

The Windows version of the game runs well. However, the HTML5 version displays a black screen upon startup. Sounds still play, so I believe the game is running but not displaying video correctly.

I am using image_alpha and image_single in some objects, and there are semi-transparent pixels in some of my sprites. Are these unsupported variables, or perhaps is the problem caused by something else?

When I had this problem it was because I had not defined a font for the text I was drawing. HTML5 requires that you have a font resource defined for any text that you draw. It's also possible that you need to enable WebGL. Check your Game Options - Graphics Settings for HTML5.

Thank you for the reply. I have managed to figure out the problem - there was a "if there is an object at x position" command with no object in it. For some reason the Windows still could run with this mistake. Thanks again!
