ghostdreamers #2

This is one in a series of applets called

Ghostdreamers applets. These applets are designed for Halloween, but by no means limits you to making only Halloween applets. You can use their images, or use your own for this applet. This one requires that you use 4 images. I jused a jpg for the background in this example, but you could use a transparent gif if you like.

The background color can be changed by inserting the r,g,b code for the color you want to use.The applet also allows for sound to be played with it. However, you must use an au file with streaming capabilities for it to work. I have uploaded some of those to the files section at yahoo groups. I also am uploading the zip filethat contains the gif files that they use, the sniplets of code and the ghostdreamers.class file.
