The first thing you need to do in order to sonify your page is to embed a sound-only SWF file in the BODY section of your HTML file. Right-click this link and save this SWF file to your hard drive. You are now ready to include the SWF file in your page. Use the FlashSound JavaScript API function of embedSWF(). This is a method of the FlashSound() object. If you define your FlashSound object as follows:

<HEAD>
  <SCRIPT SRC="flashsound.js"></SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT>
    var mySoundObj = new FlashSound();
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

here is how you embed the file interactivesound.swf somewhere in the BODY section of your HTML file:

<SCRIPT>
  mySoundObj.embedSWF("interactivesound.swf");
</SCRIPT>
