I made an applet, and it compiles fine. But when I run appletviewer, I get these errors: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 550 at java.awt.GridBagLayout.GetLayoutInfo(GridBagLayout.java:887) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.getLayoutInfo(GridBagLayout.java:806) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.ArrangeGrid(GridBagLayout.java:1373) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.arrangeGrid(GridBagLayout.java:1336) at java.awt.GridBagLayout.layoutContainer(GridBagLayout.java:706) at java.awt.Container.layout(Container.java:1017) at java.awt.Container.doLayout(Container.java:1007) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Container.java:1089) at java.awt.Container.validateTree(Container.java:1096) at java.awt.Container.validate(Container.java:1064) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:360) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)

here is my source code so far (yes, it''s sparse, but it should still work)

ok, nevermind
i had the constraints for the gridbag layout too high. I guess that can only go to a certain number. anyone know for certain? anyone know what that number is?
