Preload and Play sound in IE8 not working

[ghost]

I tried to preload and play an audio in IE8 but it's not working. I did my test with the version NEXT of your PreloadJs and SoundJs (of the version 4.1) using Flash plugin and this is were it crashes.

I then tried running your example that was on your website (SoundJS-release_v0.4.1/examples/PreloadAndPlay.html) and i'm getting this error:

Sorry!
SoundJS is not currently supported in your browser.
Please log a bug with the device and browser you are using. Thank you.

Do you support IE8?

If so, what would be the steps to follow to get it to work

Unfortunately it looks like SoundJS does not support IE8. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I'm very stupide... i forgot to install Adobe flash player ^^'
Now the installation of the plugin works (the swf is added to the html) but it crash when preloadJS try to load the audio (the error event trigger queue.addEventListener("error",handleFileError)

I've looked through older versions of SoundJS to see if any of them supported IE8, but as far back as v 0.2.0 it generates errors.
The current SoundJS version will not work in IE8 because we've implemented getter and setter, and the syntax is generating errors.

Finaly it's possible to use SoundJs 4.1 to preload and play sound (with FlashPlugin)... i'll give more information soon... (i didn't finish testing and i'll go sleep soon.) Maybe tomorow

PreloadJs gave me an error because the flash player wasn't ready. It's normal, i tried to run it in local!!!! -.- sometime i passby some REALY tiny mistake ;-P

I changed the code in the exemple to force it to install the FlashPluginPlayer and it work on IE8. (thats work in all browser but i'll write a condition to use the FlashPluginPlayer only when the browser is IE8 or if the other plugin doesn't work).

thank you

Je vien de remarquer... dans le démo il y un lien pour forcé l'installation du plugin Flash... Il fallais juste que je j'installe Adobe Flash Player. que je le mette en ligne et je clique sur le lien pour que ça fonctionne sur IE8...

"The current SoundJS version will not work in IE8 because we've implemented getter and setter, and the syntax is generating errors."

C'est vraiment plate d'avoir eu une réponse de ce genre...

We are looking at fixing support for IE8 for the next release. Thanks for your patience.

All already work in IE8, i can preload audio, play it, make pause, resume, mute, onmute, stop and getposition

Turns out with older versions you simply needed to add a polyfil for Array.indexOf to get IE8 support.
