If you mean image loading here are four options available in applets.

Code:

//  <applet code="AppletImageLoading" width="400" height="400"></applet>
//  prompt>appletviewer AppletImageLoading.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;

public class AppletImageLoading extends JApplet {
    public void init() {
        Image[] images = loadImages();
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,2));
        for(int j = 0; j < images.length; j++)
            panel.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(images[j])));
        getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(panel));
    }

    private Image[] loadImages() {
        Image[] images = new Image[4];
        String path = "images/Bird.gif";
        // getResource looks for image on class path.
        URL url = getClass().getResource(path);
        // Use Applet method.
        images[0] = getImage(url);
        loadImage(images[0]);
        // Use Toolkit method.
        images[1] = getToolkit().createImage(url);
        loadImage(images[1]);
        // Use ImageIcon.
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
        showLoadingStatus(icon.getImageLoadStatus());
        images[2] = icon.getImage();
        // Use ImageIO read method.
        try {
            images[3] = ImageIO.read(url);
        } catch(IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Read error: " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return images;
    }

    private void loadImage(Image image) {
        MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
        tracker.addImage(image, 0);
        try {
            tracker.waitForID(0);
        } catch(InterruptedException e) {
            System.out.println("Loading interrupted");
        }
        showLoadingStatus(tracker.statusAll(false));
    }

    private void showLoadingStatus(int status) {
        String result = "";
        if((status & MediaTracker.COMPLETE) == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
            result += "COMPLETE";
        if((status & MediaTracker.ABORTED) == MediaTracker.ABORTED)
            result += "ABORTED ";
        if((status & MediaTracker.ERRORED) == MediaTracker.ERRORED)
            result += "ERRORED";
        System.out.println("Image loading = " + result);
    }
}
