Playing sounds in applications

[beve]

Hi all,

Here 's the trouble I've been dealing with for several days.
I'm building a small game with JAVA and I would like to play sounds inside.
Here's my code :
try {
testUrl = new URL("file:" + new File(".").getCanonicalPath() + "/" +
filename);
testClip=Applet.newAudioClip(testUrl);
testClip.play();
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(testUrl);
}

It looks good, but it doesn't work !!!
I hear nothing, although I'm sure there is a file at the position pointed to
by testUrl.

I insist that it is a JAVA application (not an applet).
I use JBuilder X.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance

The APIs you have used in the code above only work within applets. Your
first hint should have been the use of the Applet class. :)

Not so. newAudioClip is a static method, so you don't have to have an applet
going.

Here's code that works for me. This is in a class named SongPlayer that
extends JFrame, not an applet. The music1.mid file is in the same directory
as SongPlayer.java.

URL url = SongPlayer.class.getResource("music1.mid");
System.out.println(url.toString());
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
clip.play();

Good luck,
