Topic: Browser/Flash compatibility

After having installed TiltViewer PRO on the webserver, I am now checking the compatibility of the product versus different configurations, since I am planning to use only this wonderful viewer for my website.

a) Explorer 6.0/Windows XP: the entire flash frame is not displayed
b) Opera 9.25/Mac Leopard 10.5.1: the entire flash frame is not displayed

Furthermore I would like to have the confirmation that the minimal Flash installation required is 9.0 r.45.

Felix, could you please publish the compatibility list of this viewer ?

Regards,
Marco

*Microsoft Windows XP : Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 ou ultérieure, Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Mozilla version 1.x or more, Netscape version 7.x or more, AOL 9, Opera version 7.11 or more
*Windows Server® 2003 Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or more, Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x 
*Windows 2000 Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x, Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Mozilla 1.x, Netscape version 7.x or more, AOL 9, Opera version 7.11 or more

I'm not going to check if this list is 100% acurate, but i tryied different setups. Here's the list of my "working fine" setups :
* XP && IE6 or IE7
* Vista && IE7 or firefox 2
* Mac OS X && firefox 2
* Leopard && firefox 2 or the latest Safari

Anyway, you shouldnt worry too much...who the hell use safari or IE6 ? :)

Re: Browser/Flash compatibility

TiltViewer requires Flash Player 9 r28 or higher.

a) Explorer 6.0/Windows XP: the entire flash frame is not displayed
b) Opera 9.25/Mac Leopard 10.5.1: the entire flash frame is not displayed

Not sure what would cause this. Possibly a bad flash install. Can you view other Flash 9 content on the web. (e.g. http://kuler.adobe.com/ )?

Re: Browser/Flash compatibility

I was experiencing the same issue I believe. I had IE 7 and flash simply wouldn't load. I installed it a bunch of times via ActiveX, and the same result. IE7 always said flash was installed properly, but I couldn't view flash 9 content, only flash 8 and below.

Finally I decided to try the zip file download, and that successfully installed flash on IE7. It might be an Adobe issue, and not a tiltviewer issue.
