embed max patches to html website?
hello all,
i have seen posts and other such questions answers on this subject but not recently. and i was wondering about what people have done if it has been looked at more and if this is possible.
i know about lily for firefox, but i was wondering about something that is like lily but can work on all grades of web browsers and how i could get on with doing something like this. it would be nice to have max patches available to play online for people to use instead of always needing to download a patch then get max runtime etc.
i dont really want to do flash. but something like lily is great, just annoying its just for firefox.
if anyone has any success stories or examples of max patches working on html websites, it would mean a lot. if not, then fair enough, i wont get annoyed about something that is not possible.
it would be just nice to have something like what processing has but for max.
cheers

Hi lewis
no suggestions or help here I'm afraid; just a quick "Wow!" at Lily. I totally agree that sharing patches would be way easy using an extension like this - now all I need is a magic Javascript pill I can take to learn how to do this. I assume one would need fairly developed skills in writing objects/externals in Max before venturing anywhere near Lily?

I would still love to see a JavaScript program that could pull in a Max patch and just render it as a graphic. It's very frustrating to see all the patches posted in these forums but not being able to even look at them without running Max locally.
A workaround is to use "Export Image" from the File menu, gives you a .png snapshot, so one less step than a screen grab.
Maybe better would be a "copy image" which could somehow be pasted into the posting window the way patches are, and the forum could see/interpret/render it as an inline image.
But that depends on EVERY person having to do something other than the standard "Copy Compress"
