Hi yall
I feel dumb im just setting this up with a simple html5 site in typescript and when compiled it doesn’t like the global FMOD and says its not defined. Any ideas, also couldn’t find a code starter a link would be helpful.

I’ve included the error, the html and the ts, the error occurs on line 26 in the type script

You need to instantiate the `FMOD` variable in your script. From the example JS files included in the download, you can see these at the top:
```nohighlight
//==============================================================================
// Prerequisite code needed to set up FMOD object. See documentation.
//==============================================================================
var FMOD = {}; // FMOD global object which must be declared to enable 'main' and 'preRun' and then call the constructor function.
FMOD['preRun'] = prerun; // Will be called before FMOD runs, but after the Emscripten runtime has initialized
FMOD['onRuntimeInitialized'] = main; // Called when the Emscripten runtime has initialized
FMOD['INITIAL_MEMORY'] = 64*1024*1024; // FMOD Heap defaults to 16mb which is enough for this demo, but set it differently here for demonstration (64mb)
FMODModule(FMOD); // Calling the constructor function with our object
```

sure but the code generates that data into the variable fmod, im looking for the global enums
```auto
var fmod = {
TOTAL_MEMORY: 24 * 1024 * 1024,
preRun: preRun,
onRuntimeInitialized: main
};
```
is the same thing as above from what i can tell of the compiled js.
if i just past that into the js I get this
```auto
Uncaught TypeError: FMOD.STUDIO_INITFLAGS is undefined
```

Hi,
What version of the API are you currently using and are you able to get any of the HTML5 examples to run? The examples are found in `fmodstudioapo(versionnumber)hmtl5->api->core->examples`. If you need help getting those up and running it can be found under[Platform Specific Details | HTML5](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/platforms-html5.html#html5-specific-starter-guide).
