launching an applet from an applet

[del dias]

As a real beginner I would like to know the code needed in an applet to launch another applet. All I would like to do is have an applet that the user can select a button that will cause the associated applet to run.

Hmmmmn.....I did this once but it was messy. I think you can just jar up all of the appropriate classes for both applets and then call say something like

MyApplet secondApplet = new MyApplet();
secondApplet.setVisible(true);

I say that this gets messy because you'll get two applet threads running and weird things may result. A better solution might be to put the contents of the second applet into a Frame and have the first applet create a new Frame. If you do this, simply pass the first applet as a parameter so that you can use it for any applet specific functionality that you may require in the second applet. I hope this provides a few leads.
