Question:
I am trying to create a Java routine to play an .au file when
it starts up (I want to then add this as a startup to my Web page).
I have been hacking for the last few days, but cannot get it to
compile. I think I am missing something obvious.
Answer:
Here's an example of how to play an audio clip from an applet.
The following applet plays a short audio clip whenever the user
visits that Web page:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
public class AudioPlay extends Applet {
String loopFile = "music.au";
AudioClip clip;
public void init() {
clip = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(), loopFile);
start();
}
public void start() {
clip.play();
}
public void stop() {
clip.stop();
}
}
This applet doesn't even have to consume any screen real estate on
your Web page -- the width and height can be zero:
