cannot load images thru an applet

[Guest_imported]

Because my p.c is semi incapacitated (i cannot view embedded applet), I have had to use a java PROGRAM to test my app (by spawning the app in a frame).

When i try to view the embedded applet thru another p.c - i get the message:

Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission

read)

I'm pretty darn sure this if to do with file permissions, but i thought that a java applet would only need permission to write to a file located online.

Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated.

Applets work in a "Sandbox". This is for security reason since they can be embeded into webpages. If you are running a applet in a webpage it can access files on the server that it resides on. If you are using the jdk's appletviewer then you only have access to files on your system. And all of that is dependent on the settings in the systems local "java.policy" file.

I answered how to do this in another thread, click the link below to go there:

I hope this helps...

Have fixed this by loading the graphics thru the applet class itself - thank for the help.

I do have another problem however.... ...the drawImage function is not drawing anything at all from the paint method. It seems rather odd since i've done everything to set up the image the standard way.

I have cleared up the problem now - everything works fine - thanks.
