Some problem in Java Applet

  Asked By: Fahimah    Date: Dec 01    Category: Java    Views: 880
  

I have some problem in my applet .
In this applet each 1 second 10 times download one picture from one site ( thread 1 ) .
From other part , Some MouseEvent and KeyboadEvent i set for that with dragMouseEvent & keypress for that to possible navigate on the picture .

Now problems is :


1. in some computer after few min browser will hang ((IE or FireFox)), ( maybe because the memory will hint too much due too downloading picture but if yes how can i solve that i need to download this much picture )
2. when the picture stick downloading for few seconds also is not possible to navigating on the picture too and whole time navigation is not smoothly movement .
3. keyoard event is not working at all I think i wrote that right but i can not understand why not work ?
4. all time the java splash finished very soon before first image initiated . therefore user will see some black background .
5. how can i do make some custom splash for myself and make it longer ?instead of the java default splash .
6. how is possible i make one spacial thread which is running in background of program for downloading picture and help to navigation in the picture smoothly .

1. Calling repaint method from paint method is wrong. Try another mechanism (such thread  , a thead that sleeps every n milliseconds an wakes up and calls the repaint.).

2. Try get information in another method , save them on global variables , and use in paint update method seem to be good place.

3.if the image  is constant (not change) , use jar file and insert image as a resource to the jar.
