moonislune Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Have you tried using IE 6 under crossover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLAFORUMS Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Could you possibly explain how to do that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonislune Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You need Crossover for Mac Alpha 1 or 3. Install IE 6 and give it a shot. If you post the website link, I'd be happy to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLAFORUMS Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Where can you get the crossover from? You can try it out (you will have to make an account) on our site at http://www.jlaforums.com Any of the music or videos at http://www.jlaforums.com/music.php We currently use WMP 10 ActiveX Object Based embedding code and no longer use the old <embed> tags Windows Firefox users can download a plugin to allow ACTIVEX but this doesnt seem to work with the MAC or Linux users. Trying to find a work around for them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the insanelymac forums...there might be some more info. It might also be possible to install IE 6 using WineX for Mac, but I'm not sure. The good news is, that when crossover is finally released, it will work with your site. I checked out your site and with Windows Media Player 9 installed and using IE 6 in CrossOver, it looks and sounds great. Let me know if I can be of any other help.

JLAFORUMS Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Any possibility you could hook us up with the Alpha of Crossover. If so, please drop a PM Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You could also use Flip4Mac. It's a plugin for Quicktime and Safari that will let you play Windows Media files. I'm an official CrossOver for Mac beta tester. If Flip4Mac doesn't work, let me know and I'll see about getting you CrossOver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLAFORUMS Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah, we tried the Flip4Mac and it doesn't work. If you could help us out with CrossOver, that would be great Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
