var aySound = new Array();
// Below: source for sound files to be preloaded
aySound[0] = "Chimes.wav";
aySound[1] = "Ding.wav";
// DO NOT edit below this line

IE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 && document.all)? 1:0;
NS = (navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.plugins["LiveAudio"])? 1:0;
ver4 = IE||NS? 1:0;
onload=auPreload;

Step II - Edit the aySound array to preload the sound files.

aySound[0]="YourSoundFile.wav";
aySound[1]="AnotherSoundFile.wav";
aySound[2]="EvenAnotherOne.wav";
.
.
as many sound files as one wants.

IMPORTANT! Please make sure the sound files exist, or else erros will occur.

Step III - Play the sound files with an event handler.
With a link:
- onMouseOver/onMouseOut sound:
   <A HREF="YourPage.html" onMouseOver="playSound(0)" onMouseOut="stopSound(0)"></A>
- onClick sound:
   <A HREF="javascript:playSound(1);"></A>

With a button:
-
   <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click me!" onClick="playSound(1)">

Note: playSound(0) plays the audio file of aySound[0]; playSound(1) will play aySound[1], etc.
