You can now [see my code in the online p5.js editor](https://editor.p5js.org/jasonhallen/sketches/HW-GqX7z_). I followed Steven’s lead [in this post](https://forum.csound.com/t/loading-samples-with-web-csound/137/6) to change the name of the WAV file in `CopyUrlToLocal` in order to avoid a problem with the p5.js editor.

Here’s the puzzling thing. On line 15 of `setupCsound.js` it attempts to load the WAV file into a table:

`gisample ftgen 1, 0, 0, 1, "myFile.WAV", 0, 0, 0`

The table load fails, and the CSD doesn’t compile. If you comment out this line, then the CSD compiles and the sketch is able to play the WAV file with `diskin2` reading “myFile.WAV”. So “myFile.WAV” is available to Csound, but Csound isn’t loading it into a table.

Any ideas what’s going on?

Thanks!  
Jason
