How can I make Applet call up a JFrame??

Question

hello ..
I'm making a game, and I have a flash screen done in Applet (the very first logo that appears ) so I can just load it in the browser ... someone told me that I can't make another applet that would hold the menu choices and such come up in the same browser window, so I made it into a JFrame .. so I have an Applet calling up a JFrame, and I don't know how to do that ..
any suggestions???

Hmm...but that doesn't put it on the screen thgou, does it?
IIRC applets embedded in the web page cannot contain menus - you have to 'break out' your applet so that it becomes a separate window.
To do this you would have a small standard applet embedded in your web page which then invokes your main JFrame-based application (not applet!).
When the user loads the web page, the embedded applet starts and then launches the JFrame-based application.
eg:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.applet.*;
public class RunApplet extends Applet {
    public void init() {
        MyApplet myA = new MyApplet();
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyApplet extends JFrame {
    private JPanel pnlCenter;
    private JLabel lblSomeText;
    public MyApplet() {
        try {
            myInit();
        catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    private void myInit() throws Exception {
        //Create components to display...
        pnlCenter = new JPanel();  //Main container inside the frame.
        lblSomeText = new JLabel("GUI stuff displays here!");
        pnlCenter.add(lblSomeText);
        //Put them on the screen...
        getContentPane().add(pnlCenter);
        //Show it...
        setTitle("My First Windowed App");
        setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps.
