Hi all,
I have a website of Flash SWF animations with sound. I converted the SWFs to HTML5 using Google's Swiffy. On desktop Windows PCs, using Chrome, FF and IE, there is sound, but not in Android browsers and Mobile Safari (or Chrome on an iPad).
The audio is embedded in the code generated by swiffy, and it looks like it's MP3 encoded in base64 (in the html code, I see "data:audio/mpeg;base64," and "format":"MP3").
Since there is no developer forum for swiffy, and I get no replies from the swiffy feedback form, I've looked around to identify what's stopping Mobile Safari and Android playing the sound. For Safari, I find things like "You cannot preload sound files" but since the sound is embedded in the Swiffy html file, there's no sound file to preload. Why no sound in Android and Chrome, both Google products, is also a mystery.
I imagine there's no hack that will solve the problem, if Google hasn't, but insights are appreciated.
