/*******************************************************************************
* A "Bare Bones" Player Applet (BBP Applet) that will play the media object
* indicated in the "media2Play" property of the Applet tag.
*
* <p>
* The applet demonstrates the relative ease with which the JMF can be employed,
* particularly for playing. The applet a minimal player, placing the controls
* for the player and the visual component for the played object within the
* Applet. The object plays once, but can be controlled by the user through the
* control panel provided.
*
* <p>
* The tag for the Applet should look something like:
*
* <!-- Sample HTML <applet code="BBPApplet.class" width=300 height=400> <param
* name="media2Play" value="myVideo.mpg"> </applet> -->
