Hi there, well my java game is nearly finished.

thanks for the advice the people on this board provided.

I have one more little question concerning sound..

i am using the following code for my applciation but getting no sound..

//amongst others...

import java.io.File;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;


AudioClip clip; //class variable

public void sound ()
{
File file = new File ("bomb.wav");

try
{
clip=Applet.newAudioClip(file.toURL());
}
catch(MalformedURLException mfe){}
}


//and elsewhere in my code..

clip.play();

can anyone see where I am going wrong ?? I simply want to play a small sound
when a graphical object hits another graphical object.

//it seems to be unable to find the file.. what syntax should i use to tell
it where to look?? e.g. h:\sound is my sounds source directory

any suggestions?? the speakers are up and working is there something obvious
im missing??


many thanks

Are you sure file.toURL() is giving you what you want? Assuming you're
running this within an Applet, try:
new URL(getCodeBase() + "bomb.wav")

Well, for a start, you're asking for head-scratching if you do this:

catch(MalformedURLException mfe){}

Why not actually indicate something if this exception is thrown? It may
be getting thrown and you'd have no idea.
