I am stuck

[asobi]

I DL and installed ALICE and the Java stuff

I made a small applet

However, when I attempt to play it, the error message that java needs to be installed comes up

Where have I erred?

Thank you

You said you downloaded and installed ALICE and "the Java stuff". What "java stuff"? All you needed to do was download the ALICE files. Go to www.alice.org (http://www.alice.org) and read the page on the Get Alice link and also read the page on the TroubleShooting link.

Good luck

PS - I'm assuming you are using a PC ??

---------------------------------

Running a PC...pentium 40G of HD, 1G ram

did the trouble shooting page...that worked...so the graphics is adequate. I saved the file (world I made) and then tried to open it in IE browser. It loads...but then nothing happens and the message suggests I need the java and the java 3D plug-ins.

Now what? Is it back to Flash?

[lanceA]

I wouldn't suggest going back to Flash. Go to the web page I posted earlier and learn about how you have to download Java 3D and do some other things. Here's the site again:

[asobi]

been there...did that

[lanceA]

Well if you downloaded/installed the necessary software and it's not working for you then I'm afraid I can be of no further help. It works for me and for a lot of web sites that I've visited recently who publish programs written in Alice on the web.

Good luck

Try internet options or something, you know... allow java aplet thing.
Also, that link he told u about, make sure u install all 3 software.

Heres a question LanceA, what website has programs writen in Alice?
I would like to compare my work to thiers ^^

One simple and obvious thing - but also one I tend to miss when I'm not paying attention and haven't run something for a while - make sure your browser isn't blocking the ability to run the the page. The way my IE is set up, I specifically have to override a warning to run Flash and some other things - and there isn't anything but a very small line at the top of the screen that indicates this.
