Dear all,
I am a newbie in JMF and just got a problem in running my first JMF java program.
I wanted to create a player and play some video. And I happened to get some code which could run properly. But after my further exploration, it seems that I could not understand some of the part. Could anyone please enlighten there? Thanks in advance.
Questions:
1. when I add in thePlayer.realize(); after thePlayer.start(); in method start(), I get compilation error as such

C:\\test>java MPlayer
javax.media.NotRealizedError: Cannot get gain control on an unrealized player
at com.sun.media.MediaPlayer.getGainControl(MediaPlayer.java:58)
at MPlayer.start(MPlayer.java:215)
at MPlayer.<init>(MPlayer.java:158)
at MPlayer.main(MPlayer.java:252)
Exception in thread "main" javax.media.NotRealizedError: Cannot get
gain control on an unrealized player
at com.sun.media.MediaPlayer.getGainControl(MediaPlayer.java:58)
at MPlayer.start(MPlayer.java:215)
at MPlayer.<init>(MPlayer.java:158)
at MPlayer.main(MPlayer.java:252)

I understand that the problem is that player is not realized yet. But may I ask what is the importance to realize the player? Meanwhile, when I read about some relavant meterial, I got to know that player has many phases like unrealized, realized, prefetched. May I ask if I need to know each and every phase well before I could realy write my own player using JMF? If it is, could you kindly give me some hint to find relavant meterial regarding that?
2. there are some lines to implement the actionPerformed.
++++++++++++++++
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
setVisible(false);
System.exit(0);
}
++++++++++++++++
I know that since the MPlayer class is implementing ActionListener, ControllerListener, so it has to implement actionPerformed. But May I ask what will be the action which will trigger this listener? I have tried playing with it. I still could not figure it out.
3. Regarding the class --> public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent event)
I realised that it is called automatically by the system. I wonder if it is the function that its super class has or else how come it acts like such.
That is all for my Questions. Your help will be much appreciated. BTW, code is attached.
