Did you make sure the param tags in the HTML were correct? You need to specify the filename of your image, the text you want, the speed you want it to move, and the color you want the text to be... I was sloppy and didn't add any parameter checking code, so you have to specify all the params, else if any params are missing a NullPointerException will probably be thrown... Just to
test stuff out, change the color param to 000000, so that it will show up as black. You will be able to see the text if the applet is running even if your image is not being loaded...
HTH,
