Java/Swing programming question

You may have to make your own paint() method in a thread, and use that one... not the one of the superclass!

something like:-

(If any part is wrong, sorry) :)

import java.awt.*;

public class blah extends javax.swing.JApplet
   implements Runnable {

   Thread runner;
   int pause = 500

 public void init() {
 }

 public void paint(Graphics screen){
   super.paint(screen);
   graphics2d screen2d = (graphics2D) screen;
   other code  
}

 public void start()
  if runner == null {
 runner = new Thread)(this)
 runner.start();

 public void run() {
 Thread thisthread = thread.currentthread();
 while (runner == thisthread) {
  repaint()
  }
  }

 public void stop() {
 if runner != null {
 runner = null
}
}

I think that's roughly how it works when using threads! :/
