Embedding .EXE file onto .HTML page

Post by Electricity »

Is it possible to "embed" an Irrlicht 1.4.1 .EXE compiled with VS C++ Xpress into an .HTML page?
An example of what i mean: InstantAction

i am not sure but if you insert in a HTML balise this

< src = "ftp/monapplication.exe" >

you can load the application directly , but if you want to play in the navigator, you must code the application in FLASH ,or javascript or other languages support by firefox or iexplorer

exemple fps in action script :

That would be an enormous security problem.

it could contain viruses


there is a free and open source 3d engine for flash, called papervision.

i started learning it some time ago.. i'm quite slow with my progression.. but i think it's the best choice for 3d web application nethertheless

Yes tried to do the same thing a while back and after a while i found it!!!!
Basically active x control and automatically embeds itself. you need to buy the product from them to run it on your website but there is a free version that allows the program to run for 5 mins or sec i cannot rember.
It's very cheap.

One suggestion though, you build a game before buying the program.

Try: (oldsite)

and the new site:

Try it and thank me later!

Like Vitek said this is a huge security problem. Would you download and install an unsigned ActiveX plugin from some website you'd never heard of? Just offering one for download will make people think you are untrustworthy, you'll scare people away and make a bad name for yourself.
It's okay to do it for fun on your own machine, but don't put it on the Internet!

Interesting to see something like that. Ive yet to implement a proof-of-concept that will allow people to trust ActiveX driven games, tho. It's more about social engineering than simply marketing it out to the public. A network of trust will be the foundation, new connections will be made from a cell attached to the network. As a result, a tree is made and everyone is known based on their connections.
