This is my tutorial for a lake applet.

It is my first attempt at helping others create lake applets.
If this is not self explanatory
please feel free to email me at

I will gladly answer any questions.


First Download lake.class file applet
HERE

These are the very basic steps.


STEPS TO TAKE


1- Always be sure you have your ".class" file and "image" in the same directory.(I've made that mistake many times :] )


2- The script below is what I use to create my applets.You may want to highlight and copy it.

SCRIPT FOR LAKE APPLET

~applet code="lake.class" width="#" height="#"~
~param name="image" value="image.jpg"~
~param name="speed" value="#"~
~/applet~

3- The areas where I have placed the markings of ~ MUST be replaced with opening and closing tags < >.


4- The areas marked # are to be replaced by the number of pixels of the image for the width,
however the height is different as I will explain in step 5.
The number for speed is your preference , but I myself prefer 10 as it gives out a more mirrored image.


5- The height of the applet code is double the original height of the image, minus 20.
In other words if the height of your image is 300 ,the applet code height should be 600 minus 20.
Which would come to 580, you can also play with the height to get the amount of reflection you want.

Here are some examples:

I THINK THIS SUMS IT UP.

Well whats keeping you DO IT!!!!
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN
