so far i've made a guestbook, user tracking devices.. and now i'm gonna start applets

My Swing is a little bit rusty, but does that init method ever actually get executed? If not, then you're trying to draw a string that hasn't been initialized.

What exactly is the error?

Posted by UglyDave on Jan-29-2004 23:07:

only msg i get is:

"applet ticket notinited"

which is in the status bar of the browser.

thank goodness! DigiNut is on the case!

Oh, I see it.

You called the applet "ticker" and tried to embed class "ticket" into the HTML.

Doofus.

Sure you are Dave, suuuuuure you are.

Well as long as it's fixed. Should say code="tickeR.class".

cheers Digi!

had it not been for that huge R i never would have found it

now that ur there, are there any timer functions in java? i'm sure there are, know of any?

in VB there was a thing u could use.. set a timer, then every 100 (or whatever u set it to) milliseconds a piece of code would be executed..

ne suggestions?

damn this is slow.

why the hell is java so slow anyways?

Posted by DigiNut on Jan-29-2004 23:27:

javax.swing.Timer?

Java is slow because it's a burning smelly mountain of diseased pubic hair.
