Maybe they won't now with FX. Yes, but the latest word is that if you want video in a Java application/applet you have to use FX. Oracle is pushing FX very hard to the detriment of any further Swing/Java2D development which is a slap in the face for many people, me included. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour(a)gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]

Sometimes the arguments or results are a little weird: to be "friendly" JavaFX script does a lot of autoboxing and type-conversion automatically, and JavaFX classes tend to use Number and Lists of Objects a lot, iirc, but that's not a serious impediment to working with them.

I looked at it early on but it wasn't clear to me how to actually use it in a Java program. I think I need FX for dummies to get started :-). -- Knute Johnson email s/nospam/knute2010/
