[JAVA3D] appletizing

[Nathan Bower]

Hello guys, and gals, An appletizing problem (yum) for you here. Ive been turning my java3d standalone program into an applet for erm about a week now. Ive had a few tricky problems and this one I think somone else would have experienced before. In accessing a file (.jpg texture) I am using FILE and a string which consists of  String filename = String.valueOf(tile.toExternalForm ());  // + more path & filename info. This results in trying to access a file from a location such as http://www.bhaldebla.com/images/1.jpg   However - it dosent work.   Q1. Has anyone else had a similar problem to this? Q2. What (generally) would be the method of accessing required data files from applets - retaining the ability to run as stand alone!     Thanking you,   Nathan     PS. ARgggg!
