Markus, currently the focus is taken over by the VRML plugin, so the applet won't get any events unless you move the mouse down to the applet view. Layers (NS 4.0) might provide a way to get events over one region where the applet is super-imposed on top of the VRML world, but it's a new domain with interesting side effects and such, most likely. --Kent --- "From action the diversity of the world is produced." ------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Please send administrative requests to <majordomo@sdsc.edu> *** -------------------------------------------------------------------
