- public abstract boolean isActive ()
-
The isActive() method returns
the current state of the applet. While an applet is initializing, it is
not active, and calls to isActive()
return false. The system marks the applet active just prior to calling
start(); after this point,
calls to isActive() return
true.
- public abstract URL getDocumentBase ()
-
The getDocumentBase() method
returns the complete URL of the HTML
file that loaded the applet. This method can be used with the getImage()
or getAudioClip() methods to
load an image or audio file relative to the HTML file.
- public abstract URL getCodeBase ()
-
The getCodeBase() method returns
the complete URL of the .class
file that contains the applet. This method can be used with the getImage() method
or the getAudioClip() method to
load an image or audio file relative to the .class
file.
- public abstract String getParameter (String name)
-
The getParameter() method allows
you to get parameters from <PARAM>
tags within the <APPLET>
tag of the HTML file that loaded the applet. The name
parameter of getParameter()
must match the name string of the <PARAM>
tag; name is case insensitive.
The return value of getParameter()
is the value associated with name;
it is always a String regardless
of the type of data in the tag. If name
is not found within the <PARAM>
tags of the <APPLET>,
getParameter() returns null.
- public abstract AppletContext getAppletContext ()
-
The getAppletContext() method
returns the current AppletContext
of the applet. This is part of the stub that is set by the system when
setStub() is called.
- public abstract void appletResize (int width, int height)
-
The appletResize() method is
called by the resize method of the Applet class. The method changes the
size of the applet space to width
x height. The browser must
support changing the applet space; if it doesn't, the size remains
unchanged.
