playing SWF sound onmouseover

Hi,
I've been trying to get a song to play when the mouse rolls over an image on my webpage. I've had only partial success in that I get the music to play when the page comes up. The mouse does nothing. Does anybody know how to do this?
I've tried with and without javascript and cannot get it to work. If I ever do get it to work, I would like the music to stop when the mouse leaves the image.
Any help would be appreciated,
Rich

Rich: Do you want to share the JavaScript you've tried so far?

Hi Jim,
I've tried tons of scripts and I believe this is where I left off. I've been around and around so I've probably done this one before and do not remember.
================================================== ======================
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function mouseOver()
{
document.b1.src ="cbells.swf";
}
function mouseOut()
{
document.b1.src ="juke.jpg";
}
</script>

<body>
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_blank"
onmouseover="mouseOver()"
onmouseout="mouseOut()">
<img border="0" alt="cbells.swf"
src="juke.jpg" name="b1" /></a>
</body>
</html>

</body>
</html>

Need to download code?
