I am trying to run a java 3d program (which has been written both as extends applet and extends frame... these have both been tested and seem to work fine) from an application... specifically I have a JDialog from which I wish to launch the java 3d program. If i use the same commands (from my code) to launch it from the application as I have used in the 'main' of my java 3d program... I seem to just freeze both my application and my java 3d program. the window for the java 3d program opens correctly with the correct scene inside but then freezes, i.e. will not allow interaction.... I have been playing with this for hours and just cannot see the problem so if anyone has any idea what is going on (or even possible suggestions on anything i many be doing wrong... ) then any help would be much appreciated! I have also tried to launch a very simple java 3d program using the mainframe from my application (an example from a tutorial) and I get similar problems! Cheers rakesh ps (apologies for sending a repeated question ... but I thought it was necessary to clarify what my problem was!) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
