Error 18: “File not found”.  
What I do wrong?

```auto
nextState = async () => {
        try {
            let bank = {}
            const res = this.system.loadBankFile("/Desktop/Attic.strings.bank", FMOD.STUDIO_LOAD_BANK_NORMAL, bank);
            console.log(bank, "Result status: " + FMOD.ErrorString(res), res)
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error)
        }
    }

```

(Console log: (({} ‘Result status: File not found.’ 18)))

Files located in the right place…

Though I don’t have access to your code and therefore can’t know for sure, it’s likely that you haven’t preloaded your bank files with `FMOD.FS_createPreloadedFile()`. I’d recommend reading over the [File Access](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/platforms-html5.html#file-access) section of our HTML5-specific docs for more information on this. Also, the `load_banks.js` example in the HTML5 Studio API examples would should serve as a good reference on the various ways to go about loading banks.
