Hi,
I have posted this message 2 days ago but received no response. Can
someone please help?
=============================================
In Animator.java (beta demo) run() method
Thread me = Thread.currentThread();
....
.....
//engine is a thread started in start() method
while (maxWidth > 0 && maxHeight > 0 && engine == me)
{....}
What is the role of thread me? Why does it need to compare
engine and me?
If I have another applets running on the same page, will
Thread.currentThread() = thread from another applet since only 1
thread is "physically" running at a time ? If it is true,
then the Blink applet might cause problem on a page with 2 or
more applets
public void run()
{
while (true)
try { Thread.currentThread().sleep(speed);}
.......
}
It might put the wrong thread to sleep!
Can someone help?
Cheers,
Edith
