How do you get an application game to run from the icon in a web browser window. The applications run fine from my own desktop but can only be delivered as a zip file downloaded from a website. A site like andkon has games playable from the icon on the browser. How is it done?

I get info like wrapper $2000.00 and flash $2000.00 install shield $2-5000.00. Is this the only way?

1&1.com says "script" is how its coded. What does this mean? What is the script used, Java Script?

I would appriciate any and all help there is.

I would like to code it myself and avoid the expensive software. Is there cheap software?

Hum, same question. See other answer.

I don't know where you've been getting your information, but developing in Flash doesn't cost anything unless you choose to use the top-end software. See here: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Main_Page

there is a difference between "starting from a web browser" or "running in a web browser window".

As you wrote, you only want to start the game from a icon in the browser? Would it be ok, if the window is an independent one?

So, there is no problem to do that. Your program can be a BB exe.file. If you now click on it in IE he askes you, whether to save this file or to execute. If you choose "execute" it will download the file and after a second security question it will start!

click on this to test. it is a game on my server:

the resources (images, sounds) are all integrated with a ingame packer. (costs 30$). You have to test the behavoir of starting on all browsers. some only offer "download". then the user has to download the file first, the start it from his download directory.
