DirectX Media SDK DirectAnimation Tutorial

Basic Applet
This applet illustrates the proper steps to construct and initialize a simple DirectAnimation applet.

import com.ms.dxmedia.*; direct animation libraries.

This class extends the DXMApplet class. The model you set in this class, by calling the setModel() method, is the model that will be displayed.

public class BasicApplet extends DXMApplet {

The start() and stop() methods of DXMApplet restart and stop the DirectX Media animation loop already, so you don't need to implement these methods if you don't have other activities you need to stop and restart.

Set the model in the init() method.

public void init() {

Always call the super classes init first to ensure codeBase is set.

super.init() ;

Now set the model.

setModel(new BasicModel());

}

This class extends the Model class. The createModel method in this class is where you construct your animation.

class BasicModel extends Model {

Create the animation in the createModel method. In this example, we'll just display a solid blue image.

public void createModel(BvrsToRun blist)
{

Set the image that actually gets displayed using setImage()

setImage(solidColorImage(blue));

}
