Dude, indent your code (with spaces, not TABs) in the future. This is very
hard to read.
1) I'll start by agreeing with that, then go on to point out that
it is mentioned in the SSCCE document to which I first
linked.
2) Also, over 500 lines of code? That is *not* an SSCCE!
(hint: what does the first 'S' stand for?)
Without even looking closely at that mess, I can guess this
problem could be expressed in under 200 lines of code, and
for those experienced with making SSCCE's, maybe less than 50.
So, my advice would be to revisit that code, and progressively
remove *every* line that can be removed, yet still display the
basic problem.
3) Short lines only! Many long lines in that code were
'line-wrapped' and therefore were broken when I went to
compile it. A couple of notes about breaking up lines..
System.out.println("A very, extremely, unnecessarily, long and obtuse
series of words");
..can be broken into short lines like this..
System.out.println("A very, " +
"extremely, unnecessarily, " +
"long and obtuse series of " +
"words");
Most other type of lines can be broken on any 'dot, comma or brace'. E.G.
System.out.println("Hi!");
..can actually be broken into separate lines like this..
System
.
out
.
println
(
"Hi!");
(That is of course, a ridiculous extent to take it to - I am just
making a point that there are lots of places where most code
lines can be safely wrapped onto a new line).
4) Then, (and this is *not* covered in the SSCCE document
but..) media projects are tricky to make SSCCE's for.
In particular, the problem *might* be with the source media, and
even if not, we are unable to run it, lacking an appropriate
animation file to start with.
In this case, perhaps you can use a little animation I made, as
the 'test source'. It is here..
<http://www.javasaver.com/testjs/jmf/anim/lunarphases.mov>
That is a mov of around 210Kb. I am not sure that a mov is suitable
for this test, but if not, have a look at
<http://www.javasaver.com/testjs/jmf/#media>
for other possiblilities.
If you change the code to refer to that lunar phases mov (directly
by URL), not only can anybody run it, but the clever ones can
download the mov and use the local copy.
So - I hear that you are not confident with English, & the fine
details of the SSCCE document may not have been clear to you,
but if you do not understand anything I say, please ask, rather
than dumping 500+ lines of unformatted, uncompilable code
on us!
