Everything You Need To Know About JF MP3

Mootools

MooTools is a compact, modular, Object-Oriented JavaScript framework designed for the intermediate to advanced JavaScript developer. It allows you to write powerful, flexible, and cross-browser code with its elegant, well documented, and coherent API. MooTools code respects strict standards and doesn't throw any warnings. It's extensively documented and has meaningful variable names: a joy to browse and a snap to understand.

Usage: JF MP3 was developed on Mootools Version 1.2.2 and requires the following modules from Mootools to work(recommended): All of Core, Slider, Sortables, All of the FX packages in More and Scroller. We recommend to download all of CORE and MORE for Mootools 1.2.2 and this package is already included with every JF MP3 release. Jf MP3 should work on newer versions of Mootools as long as the required modules are provided.

SoundManager 2

SoundManager 2 makes MP3s playable using Javascript. It seamlessly wraps and extends Flash's audio capabilities behind the scenes, providing a solid Javascript sound API. Ideally, it helps people like you to make cool stuff.

Usage: Jf MP3 was developed on SM2 Version 2.95a.20090717. JF MP3 should work on newer versions of SM2 as well, as long as you follow these settings:

this.flashVersion = 9;
this.waitForWindowLoad = false;
this.useHighPerformance = false;
this.flashLoadTimeout = 0;

You must also make sure line 146 (or close to this line) goes like this:

_s.movieURL = (_s.flashVersion==8?'jfmp3/soundmanager2.swf':'jfmp3/soundmanager2_flash9.swf');

The location of the SWF files are relative to the HTML document, not the soundmanager2.js file.
