soundmanager 2 Requirements + Specifications

Requirements + Specifications

Prerequisites (client)

• HTML5 Audio() support and/or Flash plugin, version 8 or higher
• Supported web browser + platform

Tested Browsers and Platforms

• Firefox (all versions), Windows/Mac
• Safari 1.3+ (Mac) / All Windows versions
• Mobile Webkit: iOS 4.0 devices, iPad 3.2 (original iPad iOS release) and newer
• Android (2.3+, confirmed on 2.3.3.)
• Google Chrome (all versions/OSes)
• Internet Explorer 5.0+, Windows
• Opera 9.10 (slightly buggy, 9.5+ ideal), Windows/Mac
• Netscape 8.0+, Windows/Mac
• Firefox 1.5+, Linux (Flash 9 beta)

In the absence of native HTML5 audio support, JavaScript-to-flash communication is used to provide Flash-based audio playback. JS-to-flash is possible through Flash 8's ExternalInterface feature, which uses a standard browser plugin architecture implemented by each browser manufacturer (see NPAPI.)

For further JS/flash reference, see Adobe's Flash 8 documentation, under the "ExternalInterface support" page which details supported browsers.

Of course, not all possible combinations of browser/OS have been tested. Most modern browsers and devices should work reasonably well.
