Running Applets from Flash

I realize Flash was created in part to eliminate the need for applets, but the
actions of the Lake Applet would be very hard to duplicate, so I'd like to run
it within Flash.

At www.datalog.tv I have used tables and i-frames to register the lake applet
to a flash object. I want to covert the entire site to flash, but the only way
I can add the applet is to use CSS layers to position the applet over the
flash. While this works, it upsets my screen positioning as I use a floating
screen.

The best solution would be to build the lake applet into a flash object, but I
don't know where to begin as 'applet' is not included in any flash index I have
consulted.

As an alternative, I'd welcome a suggestion for creating the 'lake effect' in
flash.

Thanks.

tuff one buddy, I'm not surprised you didn't get allot of answers..........
you pretty much would have to replicate the applet in ActionScript, Moock's
AS2 book from Oreilly might be a good resource. not the words you want to
hear, I know.....hope it helps.
