Applet stop() and destroy functions() never called

[davidchardonnet]

Hello,

I have an applet which uses 4 threads. And every time I reload it by pressing Ctrl+F5 (in IE 5) my applet creates 4 new threads and does not destroy the ones that were created by the last applet.

I used the stop() and destroy() functions to do this, but these functions are never called in IE 5 or Netscape 6.2(I saw this by putting some logs into the Java console).

Does anybody know how to destroy these threads?

Thank you

David

when your applet is loaded, the init method is called. check if the threads are running before you create new threads ie myThread.isAlive()

or destroy the thread before creating it. do this by having a boolean member variable in your thread class. check when this is true to stop your thread
