matzeflapse,
I am moving this post to the Java in General Intermediate forum because your question is not really related to
applets and I think you might get a better response there.
Also, please be sure to register with a proper name. "matzeflapse" does not follow the conventions. For more information, see here:

If you do not use a name which follows the conventions, your account will be disabled. I value your posts and I would hate to see that happen.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Stephanie
