Autoplay as Browser Plugin

[tcltkdev]

It would really be nice if you could come up with a browser plugin so can deploy ours apps created in AMS to the web.

On the client side the user could just download a player so they can run the program on the browser.

In my experience it is very difficult that a user downloads and installs a plugin to see or use your app, except for very famous players like Flash, Silverlight and few others, expecially if the request comes from a non trusted or well known website.

I have seen many attempts on this way but they all failed due to the above reasons.

Also, take in count that only the runtime of an AMS app is minimum about 6Mb, plus your own contents, and there are a lot of users who still have not a fast connection available.

Actually, I already have develop an application using RunRev/LiveCode but I still prefer the syntax of Lua over Hypertalk.

Yes I do understand the constraints and restrictions, etc. but as I mentioned I was able to deploy my desktop app with minimal change and without learning html and all other stuffs that comes with it. It's just something that is nice to have.

RunRev, was impressed when i first saw it, found out it dident work on Chrome, contacted them and they said they had no plans to make a plugin for Chrome coz its API is busted...... dont know if there was any progress, but that was enuff to put me off

As for AMS on the web ....... lots i could say here, but one word springs to mind.....Miracle!!

AMS uses lua on the front end and Win32 API (C++) on the back end, browsers use html and js to serve pages, servers use php and many others to generate html and js etc!


asking a browser to display a Windows app would be like going into a Chinese restaurant and ordering a lasagne in Russian!!!
