Applet Execution Problems

[vm8951]

Im new to java...

I tried to make the helicopter game, such as the one found here Helicopter Game : Max Games.

I am using BlueJ to code it, and whenever I compile and run on my laptop, it runs great. Everything goes as plannned.

However, when I uploaded it to my free website, I get some problems. Sometimes, the applet doesnt even load. Other times, it loads, but when the helicopter crashes there is no explosion. Also, after this happens, the applet spazzes out in many ways such as not letting my JOptionPane box going away.

I emailed myself the code and compiled in school with BlueJ, and sometimes went wrong. I fixed this by commenting out the resize i did in my init method. Still, I dont know why resizing would be an issue on one pc and not another.

Any help?

Could you post the link to that web page?

heliextreme Applet

it works the first time you play, but with no explosion. from then on it goes downhill and seems to get worse when you refresh the page

I don't think you can resize an Applet. The browser it what sets up the size of the applet and the applet is not allowed to resize itself

But you can draw the page dynamically, with an AJAX call.

I've check it on IE 7 and works fine, even after the refresh button. However I didn't see an explosion, but the loosing message pops up.

Hmm...so I should comment out the resize(800,500); line? Re-compile and reupload? And just change the html code given to me by BlueJ to change the applet size?

Applet ares resizing and the applet in html page are two things.

Actually resizing works for me without a problem. And seems to me there is nothing wrong in that code. So before do any changes test the applet in a different browsers. Did you do that?

[vm8951]

Yeah I have firefox at home but I tried in school which is IE and still problem

Did you try to avoid that resizing, from the code?
