is there a way to run blitz programs inside an IE frame/window/whatever?

there's all this activeX stuff where people are running games in IE, so is there generic thing we can use to run our blitz games like that?

no there isn't that I know of,but theres nothing stopping someone from making a loader frontend activeX control and licensing it so that it runs automatically in IE. Probablem is the first time someone writes a harmfull app in Blitzmax there will be a stink about it.

Another option is to use Java Launch JNLP files to launch a loader, but this requires the client to have Java Launch installed (Part of Java 2?) I had used this with Blitzplus as I way to launch them from a web page.

Ryan,

Someone a while ago actually created a ActiveX plugin that enabled you to run Blitz3d progs via IE. I think it would have been around a year ago - a search of the forums may turn up something
