First of all you can send request to flickr and get the result xml with processing without any libraries. To process the result xml you will need the proXML library. Thereafter you can load the images simply calling loadImage(). Note that this will only works in processing and not in an applet, in cause of the secure things in applets. To get loadImage work in an applet you need to write an php script located on the same server as the applet, which loads the image.
I've made an applet this way:

There the pics are loaded in a separate thread. That means you can load and start your sketch and the pics will loaded in the background.

Here is a php snippet to load an image via php-file in an applet:
Code:


<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
$secret = $_GET['secret'];
$server = $_GET['server'];


$PHOTO_URL = "http://photos".$server.".flickr.com/".$id."_".$secret."_s.jpg";
$fp = fopen($PHOTO_URL, "rb");
fpassthru($fp);
?>

Its from an old project, so maybe the flickr photo url has changed.
