New to Java

Hi,

I'm very new to Java. I do have experience with programming in c++, php and flash actionscript though. I want to create a Java-application which contains some mpg files: movie01.mpg, movie02.mpg ... etc ...
These are all small mpgs, which contain animations.

I want to create it so that the java-application start with the first movie. Then at the end of the animation (still showing the last frame) there should be a text above or underneath the movie (just one line of text) and a button "next" or "previous", which plays the next or previous mpg.
So it's kinda a slideshow of mpgs.

Is this possible to do in Java? If so how?

Thanks,
