There should be an error message in the Java Console; what is it?

The most likely reason is that the "objectdraw" package is not in the classpath; you need an archive attribute for it in the APPLET tag.

After removing the line "import objectdraw.*;" i got the same problem.

Randomly taking out some import statements is not going to help you. Did you follow Ulf's suggestion and check the console for the error message? Can you share it with us?
