Problems with polymer-starter-kit linking pages - html

Question

I've been adapting the polymer-starter-kit for a project, and there is one thing I just can't get my head around, it's very simple too.
I'm trying to access a custom element using iron-pages.
Here is the code for my app:

// If no page was found in the route data, page will be an empty string.
// Deault to 'view1' in that case.
this.page = page || 'view1';
// Close a non-persistent drawer when the page & route are changed.
if (!this.$.drawer.persistent) {
this.$.drawer.close();
}
}
_pageChanged(page) {
// Load page import on demand. Show 404 page if fails
var resolvedPageUrl = this.resolveUrl('my-' + page + '.html');
Polymer.importHref(
resolvedPageUrl,
null,
this._showPage404.bind(this),

this.page = 'view404';
}
}
window.customElements.define(IssSupervisorApp.is, IssSupervisorApp);

Here is the code for the element I'm trying to insert:
<!-- Load the Polymer.Element base class -->
<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/polymer/polymer-element.html">
<dom-module id="iss-supervisor-login">
<!-- Defines the element's style and local DOM -->
<template>
<style>
:host {
display: block;
padding: 16px;
}
</style>
<h1>New view</h1>
</template>
<script>
// Your new element extends the Polymer.Element base class
class IssSupervisorLogin extends Polymer.Element {
static get is() { return 'iss-supervisor-login'; }
}
//Now, register your new custom element so the browser can use it
customElements.define(IssSupervisorLogin.is, IssSupervisorLogin);
</script>
</dom-module>
The thing that's really frustrating me is that I got this to work using the tutorial, and after a few name changes I can't get it to work. Whenever I try to switch the page, I get the default 404 error page. Can anyone help me out?

<iron-selector selected="[[page]]" attr-for-selected="name" class="drawer-list" role="navigation">
<a name="login" href="/login">New View</a>
<a name="view1" href="/view1">View One</a>
<a name="view2" href="[[rootPath]]view2">View Two</a>
<a name="view3" href="[[rootPath]]view3">View Three</a>
</iron-selector>
The name attribute above is used to import/load the page you are viewing.
var resolvedPageUrl = this.resolveUrl('my-' + page + '.html');
So, when you try to load iss-supervisor-login.html page. It will load my-login.html which is not found so you got 404 error.
You need to change according to your page name in name attribute and the variable resolvedPageUrl.
