Stopping:
occurs when the reader
leaves the page that contains a
current running applet. By
default, when the reader leaves a
page, the applet continues
running.
To stop an applet's execution,
override the stop() method:
public void stop() {
}
Destroying:
enables the applet to
clean after itself just before it or
the browser exits. Example
killing running threads that the
applet.
Painting:
tells how an applet
draws something on the screen,
text, line, colored background or
image. Painting can occur many
hundreds of times during the
applet's life cycle.
