Sound Applet refuses to show in any browser

**the_6th_Monkey** · 01-25-2007, 05:51 PM

Okay I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it and have been stuck for a long time.

The problem is I cannot get my applet to work right in any browser

I'm using jpadpro to write and compile my code. Once its compiled. I used the inbuilt applet tester in the program which works absoluetly fine. I then try to stick it into a html file and load it in my installed browsers (mozilla and ie) and it refuses to load the applet.

Here is my code:

Code:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SoundApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
	URL sound; AudioClip music;

	public void init()

	{
		try
		{
			sound = new URL("file:music.wav");
			music = JApplet.newAudioClip(sound);
			music.loop();
		}
		catch(MalformedURLException error){}
		Container contentArea = getContentPane();
		JButton button = new JButton("Click To Stop Sound");
		button.addActionListener(this);
		contentArea.add(button);
	}
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
	{music.stop();}
}

Anyhow I'd be very thankful for any help

What have you coded in your HTML page to contain the applet?

**the_6th_Monkey** · 02-02-2007, 08:22 PM

Here is my html code, I hope this helps:

HTML Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Sound Applet</title>
</head>

<body>
<applet code = "SoundApplet.class"
	width = "300" height = "60">

You require a Java-enabled browser to view this applet.

</applet>

</body>

</html>

Thanks for helping btw

The example which you'll find by following the link does not put the name of the applet in quotation marks.

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...applettag.html

If you will look at the sections following that page you'll see other ways to include an applet in a HTML page. The "applet" tag is deprecated and the standards makers want us to be using "object" ... and the Mozilla people have embed. It's all there.

Thanks for the help but it seems I'm still stuck

Here is my new html:

HTML Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Sound Applet</title>
</head>

<body>


<OBJECT codetype="application/java"
        classid="java:SoundApplet.class"
	width="500" height="500"
        codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"
	pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html">
</OBJECT>



</body>

</html>

I still see a big empty applet box with a red cross

maybe the .class file isn't there

**the_6th_Monkey** · 02-04-2007, 07:21 AM

It is, I know I'm new to this but I've had other simpler applets working in the past

Well maybe I should look for other examples of doing the same thing if this method blatantly fails

p.s. never buy the book java in easy steps
