iOS Issues with loading sound to UIWebView using JavaScript

[Danneman101]

Ive got a UIWebView that loads a local html-page, which in turn should play a wav-file also located locally (in the resource-folder of the project).

Anyway, two methods almost works:

1. Simple href-call

<a href="test.wav">Play Sound</a>

Problem with this method is that it loads the sound in Quicktime, but when finished (or clicking "Done" in QT), it doesnt return to the original page but to a blank one. Ive tried target="self" in the href-tag, but that doesnt seem to work...


2. Using javascript

<script>
function EvalSound(soundobj) {
	var thissound= eval("document."+soundobj);
	thissound.Play(true);
}
</script>

<embed src="test.wav" autostart=false width=0 height=0 name="sound1"

enablejavascript="true">
<form>
<input type="button" value="Play Sound" onClick="EvalSound('sound1')">
</form>

There are two problems with this approach:

a. The sound doesnt restart, but continiues playing from where I last cut it short. Is there a "restart"-attribute to the <embed>-tag?

b. [ solved ]There is an icon displayed on top of the button of an overcrossed speaker, indicating that there is no sound available. This is from the <embed>-tag. When pressing the form-button, however, it does work. Can this icon be removed, since its missleading? For instance, is there an "invisible"-property in <embed>?


[*edit ]

Solution to b.

<embed src="test.wav" autostart="false" controls="SmallConsole" width="100" height="100" hidden="true" name="sound1" enablejavascript="true" loop="false">
