GUI not working in browser !

Hello everyone i'm working on a game using processing, i'v done much progress on the game but when i export applet it won't work in the browser because it has GUI.
i tracked the problem and figured out that when menus start adding buttons/other menu, the program crashes. when i add the buttons/menu to the program (they work properly when you run it in processing) but when i export applet and run in browser the GUI doesn't even appear (i used frame.add(new MenuBar()) ......)
if anyone has any proposal on how to get this working...or to make the game run in a popup window after opening the webpage.
Thank you :)

you can take a look at the game here:
(its clear what the GUI does)

You point to an application export, not to an applet.

Note: if you are using controlP5 (you don't even mention that), it wants the callback functions to be declared public to work in an applet. You can see the warning in the Java console.

Hi there,
I exported the game as application...but i want to export it as applet so that it would be played online.
if you saw the game, the GUI is obvious. but when i export the game to applet the GUI the GUI doesn't appear (when i run the applet //in Google Chrome// it only shows a white rectangle) .
And with respect to " controlP5 " I don't know anything about it i'll research it soon ( its 1:30 pm around here)
if it could do any benefit please point that out.

thank you...

take a look at this code snippet:
(export applet and run)

//**********************************************************************\\

import java.awt.*;

//import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class GUI

{

public MenuBar bar=new MenuBar();

public Menu menu=new Menu("Game");

public Menu help=new Menu("Help");

public Menu restart=new Menu("Restart");

public MenuItem control_music=new MenuItem("Disble Music");

public MenuItem rest_round=new MenuItem("Round");

public MenuItem rest_game=new MenuItem("Game");

public MenuItem view_help=new MenuItem("View Help (Description Not Available yet)");

public MenuItem credits=new MenuItem("Credits (Description Not Available yet)");

public ArrayList<MenuItem> goToLevel=new ArrayList<MenuItem>();

public GUI()

{

restart.add(rest_round);

restart.add(rest_game);

help.add(view_help);

help.addSeparator();

help.add(credits);

menu.add(control_music);

menu.addSeparator();

menu.add(restart);

//frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(Frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

//frame.setResizable(true);

frame.setTitle("Blablabla");

bar.add(menu);

bar.add(help);

//bar.addNotify();

bar.setHelpMenu(help);

frame.setMenuBar(bar);

frame.setVisible(true);

ActionListener listener=new MyListener();

control_music.addActionListener(listener);

rest_round.addActionListener(listener);

rest_game.addActionListener(listener);

view_help.addActionListener(listener);

credits.addActionListener(listener);

}

//************************************event listener*********************\\

public class MyListener implements ActionListener

{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)

{

if (event.getSource()==control_music)

{

}

else

{

}
