My app requires me to use Javascript and I'm trying to sync up some sounds to that code using audio_play(). The sounds are coming from my website... so there is lag.

1. I know that I can easily pre-load sounds in Construct 3. Is there any way to play these pre-loaded sounds using Javascript? (Rather than grabbing them from my website.)

2. Alternately, is there a simple way to pre-load sounds in Javascript? I've found a way to do it in HTML but I'm not sure how to use that information. (I'm not very familiar with website coding.)

Thanks for any suggestions!

The Audio object has actions to preload and play sounds. Why not use that?

My app is using Bluetooth to control an electronic device, and all of the Bluetooth code is in Javascript.

I have about 53 lines of Javascript code that does some bit manipulation and setup; then I send a Bluetooth signal to the device. I've found that I get better audio sync when I play the sound on line 52, right before I send the signal.
