Yeh~~ I saw it. the approach is load scripts as string. and execute it in max.

I really want is the maxscript code run in the javascript or some where and only the result display in max. :sunglasses:

#4

javascript is the language. It has absolutely different code syntax etc…
How is it gonna interpret and execute maxscript code?

#5

No need to load anything. You just send an ajax request from webbrowser to running http server and it executes payload in max.

#6

thanks for your help. and this method needs start a web server in max ?

If you plan to use browser you’ll need it anyway.
You can also have a standalone app running server and whenever it receives a request it passes it further to a particular max instance.

Check out this and this one if you’re interested how to pass-n-execute scripts to max / multiple instances of max.
None of these projects use http server to receive input, but may be useful as the example of how to dispatch scripts to max.
