The constructor is not visible?!?!?!

[tiewknvc9]

Hey,

This is the first time Ive experienced an error like this... Im trying
to use a class called VisualMediaHandler
(http://developer.apple.com/document...time/std/movies/media/visualmediahandler.html)

from the quicktime libraries, however when I try to create an object
"VisualMediaHandler vmhMovieHandler = new VisualMediaHandler(0,
movMovie);"
I get this error, "The constructor VisualMediaHandler(int, Object) is
not visible".

I'm using eclipse, and I would think that if I couldn't use this
constructor that it wouldn't "present" itself to me when I hit
alt-space.. So I just dont know where I could start in order to fix
this problem.

let me know if you have any ideas.

You cant construct those objects then. Safe bet they're returned by another
class in the same API. Read the docs.

I looked at the documentation at the link you posted, and the specified
class has no constructors documented in the API. As someone else mentioned,
to me this usually means there must be a factory somewhere which can
construct instances of this class, but I couldn't actually find such a
factory after looking around. If there's other documentation (perhaps a
tutorial), I suggest you read those. Otherwise, maybe looking for a mailing
list or contact the developers of this library directly, and ask them about
it, and perhaps ask them to put a short blurb in the JavaDocs explaining how
to get an instance of the class.
