Getting error when trying to read file into float array

[tinaman]

Hi,
I am getting the following error when trying to get my program to run. I want the filename that the user inputs to go into the float array at the end.
Any ideas ...or help in any way?
Thanks


musicIdea.java:69: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable Read
location: musicIdea
float [] data = Read.audio(fileName1);

import the class Read

thanks alot

Any idea why it is not writing the audio file out for me?
Thanks again.

[ozzyman]

No idea, unless you tell me the expected output vs unexpected (actual) output or compiler error messages if you got any?

My friend is crazy he will do flips off the top of a 10 foot swingset!

I wish it was you who did the flips, and I wish you fell on your head.

Well basically I think I must have it set up wrong somewhere for reading in and out the files.
I am asking the end user to give me the file name(filename1). Then I ask them what they want to name the file for output(filename2) but it never returns the output for me. No error message on that so far just no returned file. Not sure if it is even reading in the file correctly.

What is your output? i.e. there are no System.out.print's

you have a showMessageDialog() command but its in an if-else statement so it seems as though this code:

if(!(readFile.exists()))

equates to false (i.e. the file does exist) and therefore showMessageDialog() does not happen, instead this happens:

choice1 = true

and the loop is broken and there is no output
