In the browser:

I was wondering if there is a way to load/unload a bank during runtime, via a buttonclick, and then trigger sound inside the bank and unload it later. Am I completely on the wrong track here? I can’t find an example. It seems they all load the banks in prerun.

Yes, it’s entirely possible to do that. You can use the [`Studio::System` bank load functions](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-system.html) such as [`Studio::System::loadBankFile`](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-system.html#studio_system_loadbankfile) to load a given bank, and then unload it with [`Studio::Bank::unload`](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-bank.html#studio_bank_unload). For an example of how to do this, I would recommend taking a look at the `load_banks` example included with our HTML5 Engine installer.
