In some of your applications you may need to use Flash Audio and JavaScript directly, without any prepackaged APIs such as FlashSound JavaScript API. You will enjoy more features, methods, and properties, but you'll have to take care of all the tiny details that are taken for granted when using FlashSound API.

The recipes for sonifying a page with and without APIs are very similar:

  • Make sure you have the Flash player. 96% of the surfing population already has it. Download.
  • Include flashsoundcheck.js in the HEAD section. Download.
  • Create a flashsound object by calling sonified_flash(myFrame), where myFrame is the frame number to start the sound from.
  • Embed your SWF file in the BODY section, by calling Flash_embedSWF(swfURL, swfbgColor).
  • Create an anchor tag and set the onclick event handler to the sonified_flash() method.
