Problem in adding sound.

[shanky_sanks]

I cannot paste the entire code since its too big.But i can provide with relevant stuff.

Code:

import java.net.*;
import java.applet.*;

class pawn extends chesspiece 
{
	
	public pawn(int c)
	{
		player_id=c;
		piece_code=6;
	}
	public int get_id()
	{
		return  player_id;
	}
	public int get_code()
	{
		return piece_code;
	}
	
		
	
	public boolean validity(int x1,int y1,int x2,int y2,chesspiece p[][])
	{
		AudioClip au1;
		URL codeBase = getCodeBase();
		au1 = getAudioClip (codeBase, "sounds/pawn.WAV");
		
		if(player_id==0)
		{	
			if(p[x2][y2]==null)//for moving ahead
			{	
				if(y1==1)
				{
				if(x1==x2&&y2-y1==1||x1==x2&&y2-y1==2)
				{
	                   		au1.play();
				return true;
				}		
				}
				else
				{
				if(x1==x2&&y2-y1==1)
					{
					au1.play();
					return true;	
					}
				}

			}
			else if(p[x2][y2]!=null)//for killing
			{	
				if((Math.abs(x2-x1)==1&&y2-y1==1)&&(p[x2][y2].get_id()!=p[x1][y1].get_id()))
				{
				au1.play();
				return true;
				}
			
			else
				return false;
		}
		else
		{
			if(p[x2][y2]==null)
			{	
				if(y1==6)
				{
				if(x1==x2&&y1-y2==1||x1==x2&&y1-y2==2)
				{
				au1.play();
				return true;	
				}
				}
				else
				{
				if(x1==x2&&y1-y2==1)
				{
				au1.play();
				return true;
				}
				}
			}
			else if(p[x2][y2]!=null)
			{
				if(Math.abs(x2-x1)==1&&y1-y2==1&&p[x1][y1].get_id()!=p[x2][y2].get_id())
				{
				au1.play();
				return true;
				}
			}
			else
				return false ;
		}
		return false;
	}
	return false;
}

From what I have read on the internet I can tell that since the getCodeBase() and getAudioClip() are in a class and there are various classes so it is not able to get the functions from the applet package. It gives the following errors

cannot find symbol method getCodeBase()
cannot find symbol method getAudioClip(java.net.URL,java.lang.String)
Please Help.

the getCodeBase() method can only be called in the main applet/Japplet. From there you would have to pass it to the class you wanna use it in. You can use:

AudioClip ac = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(), file); //load sound file
ac.play(); //play file, you can also have ac.stop(); & ac.loop();

'file' is just a string with the file name stored in it- "yourSound.wav"

[jamesfrize]

maybe you could add the sound to the top of:

public boolean validity(int x1,int y1,int x2,int y2,chesspiece p[][],AudioClip ac)
{

thanx for the reply but I have one more problem that I am using this function validity a lot number of times in my code so I cant add the 'ac'.

Can you please be a bit precise with some example if you have or can provide.

I can give you the code for my stupidly simple animation button. I use it as the enter screen for my personal website. When you click on the applet it plays back a sound and opens my main web page.

Code:

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

public class index extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{ 
     private MediaTracker mt;

     private Image enter2;
     private Image enter3;
     private Image enter4;
     private Image enter5;
     private Image enter6;
     private Timer timer;
     private int delay = 120;
     private int frame = 1;
     private String file = "opened.wav";

     public void init()  
     { 
     setBounds(0,0,640,480);  
     timer = new Timer(delay, this);
     mt = new MediaTracker(this);
     enter = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome1.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter,1);
     enter2 = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome2.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter2,1);
     enter3 = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome3.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter3,1);
     enter4 = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome4.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter4,1);
     enter5 = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome5.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter5,1);
     enter6 = getImage(getCodeBase(), "sonodrome6.jpg");
     mt.addImage(enter6,1);
     timer.start();

                      }

            index img1 = new index();
            img1.setVisible(true);
            }  
            
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
            repaint();
            }

}

Hope this is of some help. Here is a link to see the applet in action-Sonodrome

I'm not as sure about passing the audio file outside the main class. I have not had the chance to try this code on a server. But it should work like this:

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

public class index extends JApplet
{
private String file = "opened.wav";
public AudioClip ac;

public void init()
{
setBounds(0,0,640,480);
ac = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(), file); ///Locate file

addMouseListener ////mouse clicks
(
new MouseAdapter()
{
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me)
{
System.out.println("Mouse!");
play(ac);// run playback method
}
}
);
}

public void play(AudioClip aClip) //Arguments that are required
{
aClip.play(); /////Playback
}
}
