movie = new Movie(this, "lala.mov"); not working in class, getting constructor is undefined error

a_l

Hi,

when i run movie = new Movie(this, "sdfds.mov") in setup, everything works fine.

When i instantiate it in a class it throws the error constructor is undefinded.

i think the problem is the this reference. does anybody know a solutions for this?

Thanks, Andreas

Is the class you have created in a .pde or .java tab

The answer is different for each case I am going to assume that it is in the main sketch code i.e. a .pde tab

PApplet app;

void setup(){
  size(640, 480); // change width and height to suit you
  app = this;
}

Then you can start the movie anywhere with

movie = new Movie(app, "sdfds.mov");

P.S. I have not tested this but it should work

Why, 'this' only, does not work?
