Problem with applets and Images

[Viped]

Hi.

I have a problem with launching my application as applet. The game runs fine as an application.

my applet code:

package net.viped.breakout;

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.GridLayout;

public class GameApplet extends Applet
{
  Core core = new Core();

  public void init() {
    setLayout(new GridLayout());

    add(this.core);
  }

  public void start() {
    core.start();
  }

  public void stop() {
    core.stop();
  }
}

error:

javax.imageio.IIOException: Can't read input file!

Code causing error:

        public ImageLoader() {
            try {
                sprites = ImageIO.read(new File("res/Sprites.png"));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

Hi,

I'm assuming that the Java Content Security Policy is not allowing the applet to read the file. ( if you are running the application through appletviewer etc. )

Or do you have the images and applet bundled in a jar file?

[radhakrishna.p]

can you tell me how you are going to display sprites on your applet?

i think whenever you are extending Applet class to any other class,
You have to override all the applet life cycle methods in child(inherited) class.
