Sun distributes a general purpose Animation applet with the Java Development Kit
Advantages:
1. quick: users don't have to write their own program in order to get interesting animation effects.
2. flexibility: user can assign the directory and the file name for the image frame and sound files by using imagesource, soundsource, soundtrack, and sound parameters in applet tag.
Disadvantage:
1. Image blinking: This applet fail to use double buffering and one can see serious blinking on screen.
2. Separating the frames into different files makes it easy to program but will slow down the image loading process.
