Hi every1, I''m trying to load sounds in my Java Application (not an Applet) and I am having a hard time. I could turn around loading images using the Toolkit''s getImage, but getAudioClip was not avaliable(does this word spells that way?). Anyway, I have considered the InputStream, but don''t know if that could work. So my questions could be: 1- How do I play an AudioClip in an Application? 2- How do I know if my image has already been loaded using the Toolkit''s getImage? 3- Should a bitmap background, 640x480, 16 bits, delay around 50 secs to load when I first load my application? 4- Is there a Java Compiler that can make an Executable? Thank you all! Long life to JAVA!

I think there is a package in the javax heierarchy that has sound... maybe around javax.media??? Some google will turn it up I''m sure.

1)An example:


try {
            URL url = new URL("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/sound1.au");
            kuolemaSound = Applet.newAudioClip(url);    
            
        } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage());}

3)You need to use MediaTracker.
Read this: http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/articles/mediatracker/

4)Yes there are, though I have never used a one. Try google.

ps. The word is spelled "available".
