studio and html

Is it possible to have Studio play from a webpage?

[yosik]

well, sort of. You could have a webpage with a flash (or a java applet) launching any application on the client side. Therefore, if you know the address of you AMS project on the client computer, you could launch it from a website.

Yes Yosik is correct, however if you are asking whether or not you can embed the .exe inside a web page for web delivery, that is not possible. In the future we will be examining options which might allow for a publish-to-web feature but the problems with that are many since the Lua scripting engine functionality is extremely hard to emulate in a server side context. In other words there is no web equivalent to what AutoPlay Media Studio builds, so it's really hard to figure out ways to emulate native functionality.

Just as one example, imagine a very simple project which has only a couple actions to search your registry for a given key and then create it if it doesn't exist. You can't do that from a web site, the security issues are myriad. Anyhow it's something we're always looking at, and we'll definitely be sure to announce any forthcoming developments here in the forum as they arise...

Now THAT would be incredible!!!!

Sign me up to beta if this ever comes to be .

It'll come *someday* (definitely not in the immediate future) but it will have to be a limited set functions for that feature. Perhaps a new type of project file would be in order, i.e. .amw just for "publish to web" projects, i.e. with a limited set of actions and objects. Maybe there's a way to port over some of the functionality to flash, etc. It's all just speculation on my part, nothing concrete yet. But you will definitely be invited to the beta if/when the magic day finally arrives, guaranteed.

Cool!

Even if it required a special "receiving" software on the serverside, it would be a phenomenal feature. Perhaps when you export the .amw or whatever, if it exported that and the serverside file to the destination folder with instructions to post that file in the user-defined serverside directory.
