{If this has been covered previously, I apologize}
I have a server stats page which lists all of teh games running on the server, I am curious to know if anyone has seen a way to launch a game from a web page.
Correct me if I'm worng, but it would require:
- an activex control for IE
- a FF extension for Firefox
- ?? for safari
What about flash? would it allow you to run an exe (once given permission by user)?
I am considering repackaging teh OA deliverable file to include *something* that would enable this functionality across all browsers. Any idea what that could be? Adobe AIR might be able to do it as well.
Another complicated way would be to provide some special URLs, for example: oa:///0.8.1//serverip:port, and some application which registers itself as being able to handle these URLs.
