I’ve got a Problem: In my Java application I’ve got an AWT Component (cannot change that one) that streams and shows an avi-file. Now I want to draw upon this movie and thought about putting a transparent JPanel above it and draw on that one.
This does not work since I either see the avi-stream or the drawn lines but not both.
I read somewhere that AWT does not support transparency of components – but the panel is a JPanel which is able to do so.
Can someone please help me with this one – thanks in advance.
The Mixing Light and Heavyweight Components article explains how this is handled only in the most recent version of the JDK.
