HTML button activating Java Applet function

[whodaman]

Hi,
If I have several HTML buttons. When these buttons are pressed, I want it to change something (say a variable) on run time (while the applet is running).

For example, if this applet displays an image, when the button is pressed, I would want the applet to view the next file in that directory.

Thank you so much in advance

I found out that it uses this thing called LiveConnect.

Pretty much, it's easy...

HTML code:
.
.
.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = &quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
var image;

function onload()
{
image = document.applets.image // image is the name of the class
}



</SCRIPT>

.
.
.
<INPUT type=&quot;button&quot; NAME=&quot;bZoomOut&quot; VALUE=&quot;Zoom Out&quot; onClick=&quot;image.zoomOut()&quot;>


On the Java file:

public void zoomOut()
{
nw *= .75;
nh *= .75;
repaint();
}

Simple call... works wonders!
