public class MainFrame
extends Frame
implements Runnable, AppletStub, AppletContext
Run an Applet as an application.

Using this class you can add a trivial main program to any Applet and run it directly, as well as from a browser or the appletviewer. And unlike some versions of this concept, MainFrame implements both images and sound.

Sample main program: 

 public static void main( String[] args )
     {
     new Acme.MainFrame( new ThisApplet(), args, 400, 400 );
     }
The only methods you need to know about are the constructors.

You can specify Applet parameters on the command line, as name=value. For instance, the equivalent of: 

 <PARAM NAME="pause" VALUE="200">
would just be: 
 pause=200
You can also specify three special parameters: 
 width=N          Width of the Applet.
 height=N         Height of the Applet.
 barebones=true   Leave off the menu bar and status area.
