DXMApplet Class

Creates a Java applet for creating and displaying Microsoft® DirectAnimation® behaviors. By default, DXMApplet provides its own frameloop which means the applications need not provide one explicitly. It is possible, of course, to do so by overriding the default behavior. Here is an example of using the DXMApplet to view a model called MyModel:

import com.ms.dxmedia.*;

//Create an applet called MyApplet
public class MyApplet extends DXMApplet{
    public class MyApplet() {
        // Set the model
        setModel(new MyModel());
    }
}

// Code fragment for MyModel
class MyModel extends Model {
    // The createModel method is where the animation is
    // constructed
    public void createModel(BvrsToRun extraBvrsToRun) {
        //Whatever MyModel does 
        ...
    }
}
