Hi Karthik,
Don't use start method. Just use Init and Paint method.
Thanks,
Angela

import java.awt.*;

public class MyApplet extends Applet
{
String uuu;
public void init()
{
uuu=getParameter("message");
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString(uuu ,20,20);
}
Here is HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Card Test (1.1)</title>

To make the scrolling move faster, increase the x ( or y ) amount that you are moving the text each time. This will make a much bigger difference than increasing the Thread speed...

Do you guys know how to pass an array of values to an Applet ?
I mean one parameter name, the value of the parameter is an array (e.g. 10000 elements).
Please comments if you have ideas on how to do it.
Thanks
