Can't create a Robot within an Applet

Engines, Libraries and Tools Java 3D

Hi,

I am having problems creating a robot within an applet, is this possible?

    try
    {
        Robot m_robot = new Robot();
    }       
    catch( Exception e )
    {
        System.err.printf( "Cant create a Robot for mouselook!\n" );
    }

This works fine running through netbeans using a MainFrame, but creating the Robot running as an applet.

I have tried to call:
AWTPermission robot_permission = new AWTPermission( “createRobot” );

…but this doesn’t seem to work either.

Any suggestions, advice or ideas?

Thanks,

Thirg…

I don’t think its possible without signing your applet. The sandbox in the browser stops you.
