I'm trying to trasform TVApplet.java to an application program.
I've problem to locate the .avi file ...
java.net.URL url = getClass().getResource("/home/lando/calcio.avi");
System.out.println("pointer" + url);
....the url is null !
this code shouldn't work ? (till now I've used it for images...now for an avi file...)
Many thanks.
getClass().getResource() uses the classloader to resolve the resource.
So,
a) You should have a directory structure called "/home/lando" on your PC
and its parent directory should be on your classpath
Eg.
/myapp
/myapp/home/lando
Your classpath should include /myapp
All directories should be case sensitive too.

The main error was that parameter to getResource have to be only
the filename....without path (I put the path!) !java.net.URL url = getClass().getResource("/home/lando/calcio.avi");
And,as you say, the file have to be resident on the defined classpath.....
The response isfile:/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/calcioMO.avi
Thanks
