Is init() really only called once in an Applet's life.

[Anthony]

Hi,

I have some code which runs an Applet

the first one Graph extend Applet and runs init()

It also creates an instance of a 2nd class which has the run method in it
and handles mouse events.

this also creates an instance of the first Class.

So when the frist class is called from the 2nd class will init() be called
again ?
If not can parameters be pased into such as init(centre, node) ?

As you can tell me java newbie

The browser calls your init, start, stop and destroy methods of the
main Applet when interesting changes happen in the outside word, e.g.
the user browses to a new page.

The browser knows nothing of your other classes and hence nobody will
automatically call the init method of them.
