In java, making a selective beep sound

Question

I am trying to make several rectangles show up when the applet is started with a couple colors added in...I already have the beep audio file but from what i know, it will play throughout the whole program. Can someone please tell me how to make the beep sound occur only when the rectangles are clicked?

There is some simple Audio API directly in Applet that you can use like this:

public class MyApplet extends Applet
{
    protected AudioClip beep;
    protected relativeBeepPath = "mybeep.wav";

    public void init()
    {
        //....
        try {
            beep = getAudioClip( new URL( getDocumentBase(), relativeBeepPath ) );
        } catch( Exception ex ) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void myRectangleWasClicked()
    {
        if( beep != null )
            beep.play();
    }
}
