Help plz-internalFrames--buttons-video..any jgurus around??

Question

Hi to all
My name is Dimitrios and i am developing a program which is consisted by a client program and a server program. The purpose of the application is to stream video (TV channels) to the client.The server program is used to authenticate the client (at the moment) where the client after the authentication is providing a GUI in order to choose the Chanel and watch the video.In more detail:
Client site:
2 classes ( frames)
The 1st frame (login.java) prompts for username and password. The server (prog) authenticates the pass and if correct the client "moves" to the next frame (by set visible false to the 1st frame).
The 2nd frame (client.java) is the actual GUI of the program. It is consisted by two buttons (assume we have two T.V channel options) and an internal frame which is where the video is displayed.
In order to develop this program i have split up the tasks and try to solve each task at a time. What i mean is:
1)Create an authentication procedure (DONE)
2)Create the GUI of the client (DONE)
3)Create the operation where button is pressed and video is played IN THE INTERNAL FRAME (in progress)
4)Stream video (in progress)
Since i don't know yet how am i going to produce the streaming what iv done is to embed a simple quicktime player in the client and open a movie file to produce video. I need to produce the video in the internal frame first.
My question is:
1) How am i going to produce the video in the internal frame after the button is pressed. Note that the button is not in the internal frame (obvious i think).
2)i decided to use quicktime player API cause during my research i fpund out that is the best option.I did trie JMF but i wasnt that satisfied. Do you propose any other solution. I did try to find out if i could embed Windows Media player in my frame but i didn't find any info regarding WMP and java frames.
I do have some knowledge about java but i wouldnt consider my self an advance programmer. THIS IS NOT A JOB CASE but a presentation from my UNI.
Thanks in advance for reading all this.
ps1 i am using netbeans
ps2 in the code below i havent icluded the initcompomens() method cause my code is too big for the post
