Hi,
I am completely new Java Applets.
I was writing a Othello Game Search for my school project. Then I decided to write an GUI for it using Java Applets. I use Eclipse Java Environment. And the the viewer was set to Sun Applet Viewer. Everything about the applet works accordingly. But in the applet viewer, if I click "Restart/Reload" the applet will freeze. I tried this on a browser. If I quit the site and come back later, the applet freezes. If I click refresh, the applet freezes.

I did some googling and I saw some things about the stop() and destroy() browser / applet viewer calls. Is that what my problem is? If so, how do I write these destroy() and stop() functions?

Thanks.
