Ah, that's how it got the developer slant. Thanks for pointing that out. I use their site all the time.
They are a very helpful reference for those of us interested in making multi-platform solutions available.

Ha. So it is Jazzed driving up those 'other' Browser Numbers? WOW.
I guess its me with those 9% Internet Explorer. I need this site a lot too...
Rayman,
As soon as I can run this on Windows 8.X I will try to assimilate it into the Editor. Will just work for windows, but it is a start.
@David's loader runs just with a S6B WIFI module and my Spinneret loader just from a spinneret.
The ChromApp solution will just run with Chrome. But on multiple OSes (hopefully).
Mike, how would you like to pass your program to the ActiveX for programming? As a URL to a binary eeprom image?
I'm assuming you want to compile? If not, I guess it'd need a URL to all the spin files needed...
Or if not a URL, then an array of strings, each with a Spin file in it?
a) program a .binary file into the RAM of a attached Propeller
b) program a .eeprom file into the EEPROM of a attached Propeller
c) get a list of attached Propellers with some ID to identify the prop to program.
I do have that binary as a JavaScript array ready to go.
With @Davids solution I do send records of 512 bytes each to a webserver provided by the prop and the S6B WIFI module..
With my Spinneret solution I save the binary/eeprom file to the SD of the spinneret and the run the loader (still WIP).
For your solution we can do whatever is easy to do with your activeX control.
What we need to do is getting a 32K binary (EEPROM) or smaller binary(RAM) from JavaScript into your ActiveX control. Then you can either run or burn.
I would like to do this without saving the binary somewhere...
The worst case would be that I give you a ASCII HEX string of the binary as a string. And you convert it back to binary.
I do know nothing about activeX controls but there MAY be a way to pass binary data from JavaScript. - My usual help to go too will not work here. @Heater. does not do windows.
A URL to the binary may be possible. But it will need write access somewhere to put the file there.
I hope this describes what is still needed. Basically a loader...
Click "Generate Code" to turn Blockly into Spin code.
Click "Program Prop" to compile that Spin code and send it to Prop
Click "Find Prop" to see what com port your Prop is on.
Click "Load VGA_DEMO" to load the binary VGA Demo from a URL, turn it into a binary string, and then send to Propeller.
It should work now in Windows8. Still may only work with Internet Explorer (haven't tried ActiveX plugins for other browsers yet).
Still have to make changes in "Internet Options"
You still need to add www.rayslogic.com to your "trusted sites" (have to uncheck "require HTTPS")
You probably still need to reduce security on "trusted sites" to low.
If I pay the $100 (or whatever) signing fee, then I think we won't have to make changes in Internet Options.
I did self-sign, but that doesn't appear to have changed anything...
Comments
Looks like I'd have to shell out at least $50 to get a nicely signed version. But, looks like I can self-sign for now...
That's some serious bloat. Only think I know they fixed in this time was the Quickstart buffer filling issue...
Makes downloading this thing slower...
How many people still use I.E. except developers who have to test with it?
I'm not trying to be mean. It's just that according to some current browser statistics, about 90% of people use other solutions.

actually we have the compile thing already done.
What we need is to:
a) program a .binary file into the RAM of a attached Propeller
b) program a .eeprom file into the EEPROM of a attached Propeller
c) get a list of attached Propellers with some ID to identify the prop to program.

Here's a new test page:
http://www.rayslogic.com/Propeller/Programming/Blockly/Test3/BlocklyTest3.htm
Click "Generate Code" to turn Blockly into Spin code.
Click "Program Prop" to compile that Spin code and send it to Prop
Click "Find Prop" to see what com port your Prop is on.
Click "Load VGA_DEMO" to load the binary VGA Demo from a URL, turn it into a binary string, and then send to Propeller.

I did self-sign, but that doesn't appear to have changed anything...
Also, I've got another Win8 box that still refuses to cooperate...
Another way to do this is just download all the files and then open the BlocklyTest3.htm file from your harddrive.
This works even on my picky Win8 box.
