Hi every one,
                                       The applet does not stop if I put
this line in the init method. I have tried this.stop(); with no result.

            try {
                   stop();
               } catch (ThreadDeath e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   System.out.println("What's the secret password?");
               }
...........................
   public void stop() {
       stopPlaying(bgsound);
       cdPlayer = null;
   }
