One way to pass values to an applet is to use the
param tag. In example2.html from the animator demo:
<applet code=Animator.class width=200 height=200>
<param name=imagesource value="images/SimpleAnimation">
<param name=endimage value=2>
... other params ...
</applet>
As the example shows, any number of params can be sent.
In the java code this is retrieved in init() with:
imageSource = getParameter("IMAGESOURCE");
Hope this helps,
John
