I'm new to this, so bare with me. I have a jquery mobile page that plays the swf file in Firefox. But I need it to play on an iphone, etc. I researched using jplayer but don't understand it. The only thing I get on the iphone is a banner with the file name. The url is; http://devm.jobsintax.com/main/login and log in as Jason/Jason123

Click on "A Day In The Life". Click on "Play Audio".

The current code uses player.swf and works in Firefox.

<cfset request.layout = false />
<cfparam name="rc.soundFile" default="" />
<cfparam name="rc.titles" default="" />
<script language="JavaScript" src="/assets/audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/assets/audio/jquery.jplayer.min.js"></script>
<script>

    /* $("#jpId").jPlayer( {
        swfPath: "/assets/audio"
    }); */

</script>
<cfoutput>
    <h2>#rc.titles#</h2>
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/assets/audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="200">
        <param name="movie" value="/assets/audio/player.swf">
        <param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=audioplayer1&soundFile=#rc.soundFile#&titles=#rc.titles#&bg=00447b&leftbg=00447b&lefticon=FFFFFF&rightbg=00447b&righticon=FFFFFF&width=890&animation=no&remaining=yes&autostart=yes">
        <param name="quality" value="high">
        <param name="menu" value="false">
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    </object>
</cfoutput>

As stated you cannot play SWF or FLV files on any iOS device because they don't support Flash. You can however use a player like JPlayer or FlowPlayer or JWPlayer to help you use fallbacks (if the user can't view a FLV file then a HTML5 video can be used, or the other-way-around).

You can convert FLV files to OGG and WEBM for free with tons of tools, I like this one (it's a addon for Firefox): http://firefogg.org/

Here is a great resource for finding tools to help encode media in HTML5 compliant formats: http://www.webmproject.org/tools/
