I'm not sure how to initialize GraphicsDevice and Window

Java keeps telling me that the variables have not been initialized and it won't let me run my applet unless they are. I have looked and looked and LOOKED for the answer and have found none. Please and Thank you!

Code :

---

GraphicsDevice myDevice;
Window CallofDuty; 
myDevice.setFullScreenWindow(CallofDuty);

---

and then I have a second question is there a way to load video into an applet?

Hello DotChris,

Welcome to the Java Programming Forums :D

Try:

Code :

---

GraphicsDevice myDevice = null;
Window CallofDuty = null; 
myDevice.setFullScreenWindow(CallofDuty);

Yes you can play video in a Java applet. Take a look at the Java Media Framework.

The Java Media Framework (JMF) is a Java library that enables audio, video and other time-based media to be added to Java applications and applets.

omg *face smack* I never thought to put a null there doh! Thank you so much! Wow >.> it just seems so apparent now. But of course a new problem arises, it still won't load in full screen.


The whole point of this program is to trick a game addicted friend that he's playing call of duty 4 what he DOESN'T know is that it's going to be a very clever rick roll/annoying program and i'm going to make it so he has to press something like the tilde sign to stop it, the only problem is I can't really continue if it doesn't load full screen lol(preferably undecorated).

Code :

---

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Image;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Frame;
 
public class Test extends Applet {
 
	private Image picture;
	public void init() {
 
		resize(800,600);
 
 
		picture=getImage(getDocumentBase(),"CallofDuty.jpg");
 
	}
 
	public void paint(Graphics g) {
 
	g.drawImage(picture,0,0,this);
 
	}
 
public static void ControlPanel()	{
GraphicsDevice myDevice=null;
Window CallofDuty=null;
 
myDevice.setFullScreenWindow(CallofDuty);
