JMF Project - Urgent help needed!!

socky

Hi all

I am writing a jmf based applet to play mp3's for my final year project, but can't get it to work.
I've checked all the examples i could find on the net and still can't see what i'm doing wrong. When i try to load the the page i keep getting "Applet Crashed". JMF is correctly installed on my system. I've been stuck with it for over a month, and the project is due in the next week

If anyone has experience with JMF i'd appreciate it greatly if you could take a look at my code and maybe you can help point out where i'm going wrong

thanks

Tim
