How to pass parameters from an applet to a frame

I would like to know how you pass parameters from an applet to a frame. I
know you can pass parameters to an applet such as <PARAM test=Variable> in
Html and simply do a getParameter(test); from an appalet. But how do you do
this in a frame? Or can java pass paramters from an applet that loads a
frame?

whether an applet loads in frame or not is immaterial to the way the
<APPLET tag works or how you get parameters.

Did I misunderstand your question?

Have you subclassed Frame? If so, then you just add a parameter to the
constructor. Voila, you're done! (If not, then do something similar
with whatever code you are writing.)

Forget that applet parameter stuff. Applet parameters are complicated
because you're communicating across different environments with an HTML
document. Passing a parameter to a frame is far easier.

Could you please explain to me how to subclass a Frame? And how to add a
parameter to the constructor. Is it getParameter I am visual please explain.

import java.awt.*;

public MySubClassedFrame extends Frame {
.....
}

import java.awt.*;

public MySubClassedFrame extends Frame {

public MySubClassedFrame(String myParameter) {
....
}
}

Note that these sorts of questions are best handled on
comp.lang.java.help.

It's unclear whether by "frame" you mean an HTML frame, or a Java Frame.

Problem was resolved in the comp.lang.java.help newsgroup. Thank you for
your help and support.
