Hello,

I was trying to make this facebook app which generates images by supplying the URL.Now i came across many open source codes which make use of something called COM. These programs need to be first installed on my machine before i can use the code. Now, whenever i run the code which i made (which uses the downloaded code), it works and images are generated and cached locally! but when others do it, it doesnt wrk. Do they hav to install ActiveX control plugins? I havent a clue whats going on. i fugured if it wrks locally on my machine, it should wrks the same when uploaded. But it doesnt.. WHY?

This is the program i downloaded..http://www.acasystems.com/en/web-thumb-activex/

If your app uses an ActiveX control that you have downloaded and installed then yes, others will need to install the same ActiveX control for your app to work on their machine. And ActiveX will only work with Internet Explorer.
