One of the "tiny" details is embedding the sound object. The JavaScript file included in this tip, flashsoundcheck.js, does exactly this, and other stuff for Internet Explorer browsers. It also checks for Flash plug-ins, and minimum player version.

Play

Here is the source code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" 
        SRC="flashsoundcheck.js"></SCRIPT>
<A href="javascript://" 
   onclick="javascript:mySwf.Play(); 
   return false">Play</a></FONT><P>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  Flash_embedSWF("animalsounds.swf");
  var mySwf = window.document.sonify;
</SCRIPT>
