JFRAME to Applet?

[geek_till_itMHZ]

Hi Everyone... I need to convert a JFRAME to an APPLET
can I do that by simply extending the JApplet Class and replacing the
main method with start ? I've tried this and my program will compile but wont run

Here Is the Original Code

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class CardGameCH15 extends JFrame
{
	public CardGameCH15()
	{
		super("Card Game");
		setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		setSize(500,200);
		add(new CardTable());
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		setVisible(true);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		new CardGameCH15();
	}

	class CardTable extends JPanel implements ActionListener
	{
		String card;
		ImageIcon cardIcon;
		JButton dealButton = new JButton("Deal 5");
		CardDeck deck;
		JLabel card1 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card2 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card3 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card4 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card5 = new JLabel("");

		public CardTable()
		{
			setLayout(new FlowLayout());

			deck = new CardDeck(1);
			dealHand();
			add(card1);
			add(card2);
			add(card3);
			add(card4);
			add(card5);
			add(dealButton);
			dealButton.addActionListener(this);
		}

		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
		{
			dealHand();
		}

		private void dealHand()
		{
			String str;

			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card2.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card3.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card4.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card5.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
		}
	}
}

and Here is my revision

import java.applet.Applet;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class CardGameCH15 extends JApplet
{
	public CardGameCH15()
	{

		setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		setSize(500,200);
		add(new CardTable());
		setVisible(true);
	}

	public void start()	{
		new CardGameCH15();
	}

	class CardTable extends JPanel implements ActionListener
	{
		String card;
		ImageIcon cardIcon;
		JButton dealButton = new JButton("Deal 5");
		CardDeck deck;
		JLabel card1 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card2 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card3 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card4 = new JLabel("");
		JLabel card5 = new JLabel("");

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

			deck = new CardDeck(1);
			dealHand();
			add(card1);
			add(card2);
			add(card3);
			add(card4);
			add(card5);
			add(dealButton);
			dealButton.addActionListener(this);
		}

		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
		{
			dealHand();
		}

		private void dealHand()
		{
			String str;

			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card2.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card3.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card4.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card5.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
		}
	}
}

Any help would be greatly Appreciated

See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html

You are missing the methods that actually count for anything. You want to move most of the stuff in your constructor to the init method and you want to define the other three.

Thanks so much...That is exactly what im looking for... should i need to change anything else?

[geek_till_itMHZ]

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.TitledBorder;

public class CardGameCH15 extends JApplet{
	//Create labels to display cards
	private JLabel card1 = new JLabel("");
	private JLabel card2 = new JLabel("");
	private JLabel card3 = new JLabel("");
	private JLabel card4 = new JLabel("");
	private JLabel card5 = new JLabel("");
	private JButton dealButton = new JButton ("Deal");
	String card;
	ImageIcon cardIcon;
	
//Initialize Interface
public void init(){

	setLayout (new FlowLayout());
	setSize (500,200);
	setVisible(true);
//Create JPanel to hold card images
JPanel p1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(5,2));
	p1.add(card1);
	p1.add(card2);
	p1.add(card3);
	p1.add(card4);
	p1.add(card5);
//Create JPanel To Hold Deal Button
JPanel p2 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
	p2.add(dealButton);

//Add Panels to Applet
	add(p1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
	add(p2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
//Register Listener
			dealButton.addActionListner(new ButtonListener());
}

private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {

	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
					dealHand();
	}
}
	
		public void dealHand()
		{
			String str;

			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card2.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card3.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card4.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
			if((str = deck.getCard()) != null)
				card5.setIcon(new ImageIcon("image/card/" + str));
			else
				return;
		}
	}

Ok anyone know why Im getting this error??

CardGameCH15.java:43: cannot find symbol
symbol : method addActionListner(CardGameCH15.ButtonListener)
location: class javax.swing.JButton
dealButton.addActionListner(new ButtonListener());

You misspelled listener.
