how to add a MSX/MSP patch in a web site
Hello,
I would like to include a MAX/MSP patch in a web site, so users can play with sound
in a web site.
Some one knows if that is possible?, and how to start making that?
Thanks so much!

this should be listed in the FAQ perhaps, it's come up often... there is no way to do this directly. You can have users download a standalone app for their platform and use it, or they can run the .maxpat directly if they have the Runtime installed. But there are no browser plug-ins for Max patches and probably never will be... for a very good reason, the security and other headaches are truly nightmarish (as I heard at the C74 Expo).
I can't even begin to imagine what the wizards would have to keep up with regarding platforms, different browsers, how it interacts with other plug-ins and security settings... the decision to not create one is limiting in one sense (we can't play with Max patches inside a browser) but totally freeing in another sense (Max patches can do so much more without browser restrictions).
So, long explanation... though as a reverse workaround, you could have a [jweb] in your patch, so the user gets the browser experience :)
