"Writing" it means adding a thread taken from the Animator.java-example to: BFButton.java Version 1.0.0

BFButton.class(stands for Background/Foreground)is an preloading interactive button that loads two or three images (based on whether or not image0 is a parameter) and a background image. Clicking it navigates to the given URL. It uses off-screen buffering to avoid flicker. Here are two valid applet tags:

Two states:
<APPLET codebase="classes" CODE="ANButton.class" WIDTH=130 HEIGHT=98>
	SIZE of button images
<PARAM NAME="image1" VALUE="images/tvbg.jpg">		    
	BACKGROUND image
<PARAM NAME="image2" VALUE="images/tvdn.jpg">		    
	DOWN image
<PARAM NAME="image3" VALUE="images/tvup1.jpg">		    
	UP image(s)
...
<PARAM NAME="image9" VALUE="images/tvup9.jpg">
<PARAM NAME="pause" VALUE="200">                            
	Pause between images in ms (optinal, defaults to 200)
<PARAM NAME="x" VALUE="19">				    
	LEFT pos. to draw sub-images
<PARAM NAME="y" VALUE="19">				    
	TOP pos. to draw sub-images
<PARAM NAME="dest" VALUE="http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/~fm5a014/">
	URL to navigate to 
</APPLET>

Three states:
<APPLET codebase="classes" CODE="ANButton.class" WIDTH=130 HEIGHT=98>
	SIZE of button images
<PARAM NAME="image0" VALUE="images/tvrg.jpg">		    
	NORMAL image
<PARAM NAME="image1" VALUE="images/tvbg.jpg">		    
	BACKGROUND image
<PARAM NAME="image2" VALUE="images/tvdn.jpg">		    
	DOWN image
<PARAM NAME="image3" VALUE="images/tvup.jpg">		    
	UP image(s)
...
<PARAM NAME="image9" VALUE="images/tvup9.jpg">
<PARAM NAME="pause" VALUE="200">                            
	Pause between images in ms (optinal, defaults to 200)
<PARAM NAME="x" VALUE="19">				    
	LEFT pos. to draw sub-images
<PARAM NAME="y" VALUE="19">				    
	TOP pos. to draw sub-images
<PARAM NAME="dest" VALUE="http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/~fm5a014/">
	URL to navigate to 
</APPLET>

Please feel free to use and improve this code. It would not be here but for the freely given help of others. I would love to see your improvements.
