/*
 * Swing version.

import javax.swing.*;

/* 
 * This applet displays several images in a row.  It preloads
 * the images using MediaTracker, which uses multiple background
 * threads to download the images.  The program displays a
 * "Please wait" message until all the images are fully loaded.  
 * Note that the Swing ImageIcon class uses MediaTracker to
 * preload images, so you can often use it instead of using
 * Images and MediaTracker directly.
