AccessControlException Applet in a html page

I wrote a game in Java and I want to put it on a HTML page. I know how, but the problem is that it gives me a AcessControlException (java.io.FilePermission "/SomePath/SomeFile.SomeExtension" "read").

And here is html code (it is inside a jar file called Blocks.jar):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<applet code="Game.class" archive="Blocks.jar" width="600" height="600"> </applet>
</body>
</html>
I saw people getting the same error but, no answer gave me a solution that worked. So what shoud I do for load the images without erros?
PS: The JApplet is running fine in eclipse, but at the html page throws me this error.
Thanks!

How to make JButton with transparent background and regular text?

Is there a way to make a JButton which has a transparent fill(30% transparent) and a text which is not transparent?

make both the button and the text transparent.
make both of them not transparent.
is there an option in between?

Java: create shadow effect on image

I'm trying to create a shadow effect (with java) on an image.
I've seen multiple related questions and I've implemented several of the suggested solutions. Unfortunately I always have the same problem: the shadow effect repaints the entire image in gray (i.e. the shadow color) - hence the original image is not visible anymore.
Example of code I tested (based on the JIDE freely available library):
ShadowFactory sf = new ShadowFactory(2, 0.5f, Color.black);
ImageIO.write(sf.createShadow(ImageIO.read(new File("c:\\out2.png"))), "png", new File("c:\\out3.png"));
No need to says that I tested this with multiple source files (out2.png).
I'm clueless: any hint/help would be highly appreciated.

The over all theory is simple. Basically, you need to generate a mask of the image (using a AlphaComposite and fill that resulting image with the color you want (also using an AlphaComposite. This, of course, all works on the alpha channel of the image...
Once you have that mask, you need to combine the two images (overlaying the original image with the masked image)
This examples make use of JHLabs filters to supply the blur...

Thanks a lot!

I've just solved my problem. The problem was, that JDK 7 implements AWTUtilities.setWindowOpaque() method from JDK6 in setBackground() method and I was (NetBeans did :-)) setting default background for JFrame in different place, so setting background to new Color(0, 0, 0, 0); makes JFrame transparent and all goes well now.

For whoever stumbles upon this thread and wants his own transparent window, I devised this example. With how little information is available on the web, I almost had to break a leg to come up with something just works, and doesn't use image files or anything. (Combined from different examples on this site)
public class GradientTranslucentWindowDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create the GUI on the event-dispatching thread
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
final JFrame f = new JFrame("Per-pixel translucent window");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setUndecorated(true);
f.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
final BufferedImage backrgoundImage = makeBackrgoundImage(400, 400);
JPanel panel = new JPanel()
{
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
if (g instanceof Graphics2D)
{
g.drawImage(backrgoundImage, 0, 0, null);
}
}
};
panel.setOpaque(false);
f.setContentPane(panel);
f.setLayout(new GridBagLayout()); // Centers the button
f.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Close")
{
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
f.dispose();
}
}));
f.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
static BufferedImage makeBackrgoundImage(int w, int h)
{
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// Draw something transparent
Graphics2D g = img.createGraphics();
g.setPaint(new RadialGradientPaint(new Point2D.Float(w / 2, h / 2), (w + h) / 4, new float[]{0, 1}, new Color[]{Color.RED, new Color(1f, 0, 0, 0)}));
g.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
g.setPaint(Color.RED);
g.drawRect(0, 0, w - 1, h - 1);
g.dispose();
return img;
}
}

Text Scrolling in java

Pleae help to solve this problem... I has a page designed in JFrames
Now i need to make a text scrolling at the top of the page.... Please provide me the code...

Check this out, is is commented and will most likely help you.
