I am using the `load_banks.js` example to help integrate the javascript API into my game, but the example doesn’t actually play any sounds. It just loads and unloads the banks. I am trying to use the `getEvent()`, `createInstance()`, and `start()` methods on my fmod system and event objects, but I am not making much ground. Is there an example of the javascript API playing a sound loaded by a bank anywhere?
Edit: I have slowly started to make progress again. Do not need immediate assistance

There are other examples included in the HTML5 API download. You should be able to take a look at simple\_event as an example of loading a bank and playing an event.
