"Ask questions." So I'm assuming this is the right place. How do I embed a .exe file in a webpage? I'm talking about games made with Game Maker v5.0 |

two things are you torrent from C!D? if so hi its UG2004 XD also cant you use embed src='' ? or use it as a link that takes you to the uploaded file then it should bring up a download box OR put it in embed tags and it should work, although shouldnt you be able to save it as a swf or something? thats what embed works with otherwise as exe i think youll have to make it downloadable |

You cannot embed .exe files, as they are executable files meant for running on a computer, not being displayed by a browser. Furthermore, allowing people to embed a .exe file would be a huge security risk because then they could execute the program through your web browser. Swf files are Macromedia Flash files, so no, you cannot just save a .exe file as .swf, it has to contain Flash content. If it is a Game Maker file, in order to let people play the game through their web browser, it needs to be in the form of a web applet either as Flash, Java, et cetera. Otherwise, you will have to get your users to download the file and play the game on their computer. |

Yes Yes - I know, lol. Hi. And, I tried: <embed src=""></embed> <embed src="" /> And tried the same with the <bject> tag too. So, ah well. Just have to leave it for download. Thanks
