Troubleshooting:
  
                         
   If you see an error "Applet can't start: class animator not found" 
   or "Applet can't start: class animator got a security violation: method verification error"
   in the status bar, that means that you didn't RENAME those class 
   files correctly. Their correct names are: animator.class and load.class
   (Please reopen your browser after you correct names of class files).
