What is your error? I have copied the code and it seems you have another class missing which is the buttonPlay object. Is this your error? If it is, declare your buttonPlay somewhere and you would fix it. If it is for your jpanel, create your button and add it to your panel.

thank you for your reply! I had solve the problem. thank you!

I marked it solved then, next time do it yourself, cocfly123!
