Hi John, hi Frank,

It really works perfectly in IE and netscape. I encoutered a problem that stalled the browser for at least one minute with the Java 3D 1.2.1_04, but Java 3D 1.2.1_03 and the 1.3 betas work fine. My advice is to watch out correctly dealing with threads. - Try always to update and invoke swing components using the SwingUtilities class methods invokeLater() and invokeAndWait(). You might find some hints on www.j3d.org. - Never generally catch Error or Throwable in a thread loop or in code that is executed by another thread (since you might catch a ThreadDepthException by incident which prevents proper Thread stopping) > In the absence of a fix, I don't use Java 3D in applets anymore.

Frank, unfortunately i wasn't able to access your applet. it looked to me as if i had not the appropriate permissions to run the applet. cheer-up, Karsten =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
