Please capitalise the first word of each sentence.

What do you mean by 'dummy' GUI?

That usually indicates to me that the buttons
and lists and menus do not do anything.
Is that what you mean?

> which looks like a media player

The JMF supplies a media player that looks like a media
player, but it does things like play the media as well (so
it is not a 'dummy' GUI).

>=2E.eg transition window

What is a 'transition window'? Can you provide an URL
to a screenshot?

Yes, wrap them in any image aware Component (such as a JLabel),
and GridBagLayout can place them in any variety of arrangements,
though usually a nested layout works better for beginners, especially
as few more experienced programmers bother with GBL, so are not
likely to help debug them.

>=2E.is there any tutorials to do?

Suns' AWT layouts tutorial should be a good start
for arranging the components.

Unfortunately Sun's search is so slow I couldn't be
bothered tracking down further layout links, but check
the com.lang.java.gui FAQ for some excellent tutorial
links.

Huh?

One final thing, please refrain from multi-posting,
likewise splitting threads across multiple titles.

If you'd like to chase up a thread that seems to have
been missed - wait at least 72 hours before posting
a follow-up to the *same* title on the *same* group.

Please don't multipost, If you MUST post to multiple newsgroups,
crosspost instead of multiposting so that responses show up in both
newsgroups and responders can see that your question has already been
answered.
