The FlashSound API (FSAPI) is a freely available, open source JavaScript library (developed by Hayden Porter) that enables developers and musicians to easily add backing music, interactive sound and streaming voice narration to a conventional web site. Based partly on the native Flash JavaScript API, the FSAPI handles player detection, embedding and error checking, freeing you to focus on sonification. Consequently, you can take advantage of the ubiquitous install base and audio features of the Flash player to bring sonified content to a very large percentage of web users, without requiring that they first download a plug-in. If you have a site using the FSAPI please contact me. I love to hear and see how people are using the FSAPI. Testing the FSAPI
Note about Mozilla support. The FSAPI works correctly with windows versions of Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox. However, there seems to be a problem where the Macromedia Flash installer does not install the XPConnect component, which enables javascript interaction, in the correct location if your computer has multiple Mozilla type browsers installed on your computer. One resolution is to simply reinstall the Flash player. This seems to work for most people. This does not seem to be a problem if you have only one Mozilla type browser on your system.
