It was strange to me because the sound track was playing in background but applet had a problem with loading images. I have put that applet on server: http://skibba.strefa.pl/applet/applet.html If you want to check. I am getting same error as while i was trying to launch the applet in browser from hard drive on my PC.

And if i have no permission, so why the music is playing?

The applet runs in eclipse's Applet:Viewer well - no errors, only in browser is the problem.

Answer 1

It was strange to me because the sound track was playing in background but applet had a problem with loading images.

Presuming the image and clip are in the same directory, it suggests the music clip is being loaded by URL from the 'home' location (OK for a sand-boxed applet) while the image is being loaded by File (only possible in a trusted applet, and not suitable for resources we supply for an applet).

Organize to load the image by URL, and it should work.

Answer 2

Is kind of explanatory from the errors the application does not have permission to read from a folder where the png is stored. Applets are by default denied from accessing the Local directory. You need to sign your applet or edit the policy.
