Sound i Java Application

Hi, I am trying to add sounds to my simple game in Java. The code looks like:

Code:

---

import java.io.File;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.Clip;
.
.
.
.
public void setHit()
{
        if(!hit)
        {
            hit=true;
            playSound(new File("sounds/balloon_boom.wav"));
        }
  }

---

And it doesn/t work. I get an error:

Code:

---


error: cannot find symbol playSound(new File("sounds/balloon_boom.wav"));
symbol:  method playSound(File)
location: class Menu

---

What am I doing wrong and how I can "fix" it?

Best regards

Whenever you call a method, you need to prefix the method name with an object or a class name.

object.playSound();

or

ClassName.playSound(); // for a static method

The only time that you could call a method without prefixing it with an object or a class name is if you defined that method in the current class which isn't the case here.

I did get the following code to work:

Code:

---

import  sun.audio.*;    //import the sun.audio package
import  java.io.*;

public class Sounds {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

                // Open an input stream  to the audio file.
                InputStream in = new FileInputStream("pop.wav");

                // Create an AudioStream object from the input stream.
                AudioStream as = new AudioStream(in);       

                // Use the static class member "player" from class AudioPlayer to play clip.
                AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
        }

}

Thanks a lot man, it works!!!

//ech, not works ;/

Code:

---

AudioStream is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(in);
