Hi Damion
I am experiencing(occasionaly) some problems (Verifier error on netscape and
sometimes crashing the audio player on the sparc station) with the
Animator.class. I am relatively new in the computer and java scene, and
can't offer a solution to any problems.
But i have located other alternatives to Animator.class:
ImageBlaster.java: from API user's Guide under the java.awt.mediaTracker
ImageLoop.java: from java.sun.com applet demo site.
I haven't had time to implement the two above java yet. If you were
successfully in using the alternatives to Animator.class please let me know.
Good Luck.
