Hey, if you're going to *answer*, please give an answer and specifics. 'check
out the Java web site' is not really good enough - you might as well not say
anything.
More particularly, look at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html#getApplet(java.lang.String)
, and
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getAppletContext()
Assuming all your applets are in the same HTML page, and you have used the
name="somename" attribute inside your <APPLET> tags, then you can get at any
Applet on your page by calling
// get the applet context
AppletContext myContext = thisApplet.getAppletContext();
// get the applet itself from the context
Applet other = myContext.getApplet("somename");
// cast the applet to it's subclass ... make sure you know it is an
ExtendedApplet though!
// you must do this in order to do anything useful with your other applet once
you have it
ExtendedApplet extended = (ExtendedApplet) other;
// call a method on your other applet
extended.myMethod();
Now, if your applets are not all on the same page, then you can still *open them*
without losing your current applet by using:
myContext.showDocument(new
URL("http://myserver/applets/otherAppletPage.html"), "new_window");
This will load up the Applets on that page, in a new browser window, *but* they
will be in their own AppletContext, so you won't be able to do inter-applet
communication between applets on different HTML pages without an intermediary.
If you really, really need inter-applet communication between applets not on the
same page, I have an idea (involving RMI) how to do it, but won't go on about it
here.
Regards,
David.
