JMF application still not stopping

Lint

I posted here before about my JMF application not stopping..I figured out the problem with what I was doing wrong then. So Ive changed the code. The buttons do work cos I tested them by printing statements. It sill plays but doesnt stop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
{
try
{
String url= "file:RedDawn.mp3";
MediaLocator mediaLocator= new MediaLocator(url);
Player mp3Player = Manager.createPlayer(mediaLocator);

if ( e.getSource() == btPlay_Button )
{
mp3Player.start();
}

if ( e.getSource() == btStop_Button )
{
// Action for btStop_Button
mp3Player.stop();
mp3Player.deallocate();
mp3Player.close();
}
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
t.printStackTrace();
}



//notice that all the code is inside a try and catch.. this is because Player mp3Player = Manager.createPlayer(mediaLocator); must be declared thrown or caught

The problem is that you're creating a *new* player each time, so you can never stop the one that's playing. Here's a really simple class that does what you want. The important part is that you only ever have a single player running.

One thing - I'm pretty certain that you need a separate player class that will catch events such as the end of the file.

Why use ...

catch (Throwable t)
{
t.printStackTrace();
}

as far as I can tell your catching errors as well which is inefficient. Should be Exception and and Throwable.
