Hi
The problem is that I am using an
applets stop method to finish two threads. But when I have stopped the threads and have used the join() method to ensure that they have finished, I can still access the dead threads variables (which I would of thought would have vanished with the
thread). This may not seem to be a problem but I am trying to get it so that if the applet start method is called again it will start the same type of thread up again and I think that if these variables are still current that it could cause some quite confusing errors to occur. So if anyone can firstly tell me why these variables are still there and secondly a efficient way of getting rid of a thread so that it's variables go with it.
