An Applet Loader!!

Hi,I know that flash has a getBytesLoaded() function and a totalBytes() function that one can use to calculate how much of the "movie" is loaded.Can this be done in Java?

yes.(i.e. all you can do with flash you can do with java - but then, maybe you shouldn't...).Why do you ask? (it's easier to answer if we know what you really want to do :)

I have a 50 Kb applet, and it takes 10 seconds (roughley) on a 56Kb modem. I just want a loader to load my applet. I would use MediaTracker its just that I dont use any images.

The applet is right here:

I am a programmer by heart, not a designer, and programmers like Java.

I don't even know how to make the loader, let alone make the grey screen disappear!!

So there's 10 seconds of grey screen? Doing your own custom loader'll probably mean 20 seconds while the loader loads, then 10 of your own loading...

I disagree, a simple loading bar can ezily be implemented in a tiny amount of code.And i realy can't stand that grey loading screen - you don't know wtf is going on. Is it downloading? has it crashed? There is no feedback to the user at all.

I totally agree. Its a horrible feeling not knowing if your applet has crashed, or simply loading!!
