Hi,
I want to use javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer to play video/audio in the processing applet. To play audio it works without problem and hacks, but to play videos I need to hack processing. I struggled to find a clean solution but no result...

I need to get the StackPane created by PSurfaceFX, but this element is not exposed. So I modified /core/src/processing/javafx/PSurfaceFX.java (https://github.com/jej/processing/commit/6a72a99e355ef7c93b1f9778f03c0c6660116ff7)

public class PSurfaceFX implements PSurface {

  static StackPane stackPane;  // was a local field in start()

.../...

  public StackPane getStackPane() {
      return stackPane;
  }

.../...

}

So now I can play videos or draw any(fx)thing in a FX2D applet with:

public void playVideo() {
   PSurfaceFX surface = (PSurfaceFX) getSurface();
   Media media = new Media("file:///pathtofile.flv");
   MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
   MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(player);
   surface.getStackPane().getChildren().add(mediaView);
   player.play();
}

Do you know a better solution to do that without processing modification?

If not, do you think this solution is fine?
