Re: confusing error during realize of mediaplayer

Ok I've removed the call to init components and spelt realize correctly
this time. The code now reads and still produces the same error as
before at runtime.

import java.io.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.*;

/**
 *
 * @author user1
 */
public class Form1 extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    /** Creates new form Form1 */

 File fp = new File("C:/TEST.MID");
    Player player;

    /** Creates new form form1 */
    public Form1() {
// initComponents();
        this.setVisible(true);
        if (!fp.exists()) return;
        try {
            player=Manager.createPlayer(fp.toURL());
        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoPlayerException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        player.addControllerListener( new ControllerListener() {
            public void controllerUpdate( ControllerEvent ce) {
              if ( ce instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent)
              {
                  Component visual = player.getVisualComponent();
                  Component control =
player.getControlPanelComponent();
                  if (visual != null)
                      getContentPane().add(visual);
                  getContentPane().add(control);
                  pack();
                  player.start();
              }
            }
        });
    player.realize();

    }

I pasted everything in the original post from compilable code. The only
line I typed in on the original post is the realise(); line because I
originally had it in a button event handler. Hence the mistake. Sorry!
I didn't realise I'd made a mistake, sorry to of wasted your time
earlier. However this code should compile.

I'm using netbeans 5.5 ide.
JDK 1.5.0_09 same number jre
windows XP Home Service pack 2

I dont know have a website to post a link to my test3.mid file. However
the code gives the same error with every single midi file I try. So
just pick your favourite midi file and you'll replicate the error, no
problem! If you give it an mp3 file it runs ok, but not midi files.

I should point out perhaps incase there's yet another silly mistake
somewhere, that I picked the name slowlearner for a reason. I suffered
chemical damage to my brain in 1978 from a pesticide accident. It's
only about a 18 months since I've been able to even watch TV or read
let alone program. So I am litteraly a slow learner.
