Embedding an application

[War_Hero]

Hi all.

A quick intro to my problem: I've got a website up and running for my University group where a 3D etch-a-sketch program can be downloaded and run. However, my group and I would also like that application to be run from the website itself....so the user can test the program out before downloading it.

So my question is: how do I go about embedding the program/application into my website?

I've tried doing some research, but that hasn't turned up any results. But that's probably down to me not searching for the right thing.

Any help will be highly appreciated...even if it's just pointing me in the right direction and not actually telling me how it's done. :) Many thanks.

I don't know myself, but try 3D content into your website

What format is this application? Ie .swf .exe etc...

You cannot embed every kind of applications. Only some stuff are supported by the browsers (very few) and a few more requires a plugin.

You may try:

- Java

- Flash

- Shockwave

- Silverlight

- Unity 3D

The format is .exe :)

Thanks for the link Jordan, I'll have a look at it when I can. :)

Edit: Only saw the last post after I submitted mine. Thank you a_bertrand.

The program was written using Processing, if that's any help. :)

Exe cannot be served like that (too much security issues). However you may check http://processingjs.org/ as it seems to be the same language you used yet to run within a browser...

IE up to 8 doesn't work directly but you may use some other solution from the website.

Thank you very much. I shall try that and let you know how it goes. I'll admit, probably won't get done til Sunday as I've got a busy weekend. :P

Thanks again though, for the advice. :)

I've attempted to use ProcessingJS, but to no successful. I fiddled about with a few things, but couldn't for the life of me get it to work. I copied the example they provided exactly, just changed their example code with mine. I was able to get the example working perfectly, just not my program. :(

My program is a 3D etch-a-sketch. I thought that it might have been the 3D aspect, so I temporarily made it 2D, but that still didn't work. So I then removed the image that first appears, and it still didn't work.

Can anyone offer any advice? It will be highly appreciated. :) I can post any code, if need be.

You should check their forums (if any)... we are not specialists of this language...
