Help me please!

I have created my own game in .exe format. I want to put it on my web page so that people can play it without having to download it. Can anyone tell me one these three things:

1) Can I embed my .exe file into my HTML so that it auto-executes when the page is loaded and how do I do it?

2) Is there a way to format the .exe file into a .swf file?

3) I there any other way to achive my goal?

Please help me, I would be really grateful.

Thanks, I thought that it wasn't possible to convert a .exe file into .swf but is there a way to make the .exe file to run from it's current position (my web site)?

I'm not an expert on about it but I've read something somewhere about MHTML (or something) and embedding .exe files into it. Does anyone know anything on the subject?

I'm sure it's not "impossible" for him to do this. But it wouldn't make much sense since many people's browsers or firewalls or proxies ban .exe files from being access over the web. May I ask what program you used to make your exe game?

oh, then if you want people to play it, you should zip it up and put it on your site. It'd be too hard for them to play it otherwise. Stick to flash and shockwave.

a .exe cannot open in a page. Its the server who will open it not the client. Only .swf can play online. .exe need to be downloaded. That it :P
