How do i add audio to my program? I have a mp3 already in my program

I have in my index.html this already, and then i add a function named play where i call in play to my script file[then finally when i try to call in my play command if the player decides to shoot a fireball at the enemy it gives me an error saying "Cannot read property 'play' of null" What do i do?

I have this in my index.html file:

<audio id="audio" src="fire.mp3" ></audio>

At the top of my script file, i do this:

var fire = new Audio();
fire.src = "fire.mp3";
function play()
 var audio = document.getElementById("audio");
 audio.play();
 `


 (Fire.mp3 is already a file outside of my program, its what i called in in my index.html file)

Lastly, when the player decides to use fireball, I tried to add the one second fireball noise in by doing this:

if (fire = true && up2 === "FIRE" ) {
 var enemyhealth = parseInt(enemyhealth) - parseInt(firepower);
 xp + 2;
 play();

`
play at the end is when i try to call in the function, but it dosent work.

You're using inconsistent methods and objects. Change your code to this:

var fire = document.getElementById("audio");

Or this:

var fire = new Audio("fire.mp3");

And then make sure it's still consistent all the way through your program.

Hey Jack, so i did that. I deleted all of the code above and in the script at the very top i typed in 'var fireaudio = new Audio("fire.mp3");' then at the time i wanted the audio to play i put 'fireaudio()'. I ran the program, and it came back and said ' script.js:44 Uncaught TypeError: fireaud is not a function'

You need to play it. Use fireaudio.play() and it will work perfectly.
