Yes you can script in both direction in both bouwsers IE 3.x/4.x/5.x and
Netscape 3.02 and above.
1.) First you have to access the netscape liveconnect packages
either by downloading with the applets or placed locally in the classpath
of the target machine.
2.) Second you must use the MAYSCRIPT option in the applet tag.
3.) Third this applies to IE only. You must enable the scripting secutiry
options in the internet security settings for the scripting to work
regardless of the MAYSCRIPT option.
That about does it for scripting applets.
Now on the topic of swing usage you have three options
again.
1.) Download the swingall.jar with your applet which may increace applet
start up time.
2.) add the swingall.jar to the classpath of the target host.
3.) Using the java plugin on the target host , which will insure that the
current runtime is correct ( JDK 1.2 and above with Swing ). The plugin
will reduce your applet start-up time through the use of jar caching.
However there is one catch in IE you will not be able script interface with
the applet in either direction. Also not IE 6.x will no longer include
any JVM ( part of the lawsuite settlement , JDK 1.4 ) so you may have to
redesign yuor application to run in that enviornment.
Good luck
