Preloeder for Java?

[Bogeyman]

Hi Clickers,

My main question is though that my applet is quite big of kb. Is there a way to create a preloader so that waiting for the app to load won't get to boring?

What about coding one yourself in Java? It shouldn't be so hard. I haven't looked into it, though.

Java itself has an orange loading screen when you try to load a big applet, so you don't even have to worry about a progress bar.

a preloaded would be possible just begin it as hidden then the first command would be to tell the browser to unhide it and hide the "preloaded" however it wouldn't know how long is left to download but it could look nicer then a blank screen, goodluck.

@DaVince: thats what I got thinking about too. So I guess that would help so far.

This is what I found (using Google, erm...)

Should be quite easy to make, you just need one of the Java compilers, or you could use JavaScript.
