Hi Richard

I had a similar requirement, I wanted to have an action listner, but I was
unable to implement an action listner.
Instead wha I did was used Java Reflection to invoke a method the main
applet.

Here is the code, perhaps this will help you.

  Class c = appletObject.getClass(); // you have to pass a ref. to the
applet into the thread. (appletObject)
    Class classTempArray[] = {};
    Object objTempArray[] = {};
    try{
        Method m = c.getMethod("AppletMethod",classTempArray);
        m.invoke(appletObject,objTempArray);
        }
    catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

I'm not sure whether this fulfils you requirement. If you come accross a
better method of doing this, Please email me.
