Put together a real nice animation of a moving rocket ship; & wanted it to be placed on a dynamic space background. Found a great free Java Applet entitled "Flying Stars", where a field of stars moves laterally across a black background (in the same direction as my animated ship)!

Trouble is, when I assign my animated .gif to the Applet code & preview in my browser, for some reason, the animation plays very, very slow (i.e., instead of the frames playing every .1 second, they play every 4 or 5 seconds.)

Was hoping someone here could provide some insight (& hopefully some answers.)

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Not enough information to help.
Are you using Swing or AWT? are you using timer events or some other mechanism for the animation? which version of jdk and jre?

best regards

Raditha,

Don't know how to get into the .class file to find out. The Applet code points to a .class file.

Thanks,

is this a commercial product? havent they included any docs?

Rad,

It was a free Java Applet from JavaScript Kit (formerly Website Abstraction.) Don't know anything about Java or JavaScripting, that's why I'm here.
