Applet gives Flickering

i had written in programme using swing..now when i run through normail applet then it will gives me flickering...i had used Applet and Panel instead of JPanel and JApplet...If i m using Swing then it will run fine...but gives me problem in applet...and i have to run that programme in Browser...so i must have to use AWT instead of Swing..So please help me in this regards...

Hi
If you are using AWT instead of SWING then you have to use
double buffering which avoids flickering.
little bit more:-
1.Draw whatever you wanto on offline Image object.
2.When you are done show that Image object on the applet canvas

hi,
sorry i m not getting your answer..can u explained me in detail ...if u so then its good for me...

hi

Following code is for achiving double buffering !
----------------------------------------------------------------
code starts
Image buffer;
Graphics g1;
public void update(Graphics g){
paint(g);
}

public void paint(Graphics g){
//Draw the flickering code
drawExample();
// Draw completed buffer to g
g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,this);
}
public void drawExample(){
buffer = createImage(APPLETWIDTH,APPLETHEIGHT);
g1 = buffer3.getGraphics(); /// Offline Image drawing
g.setColor(whateverulike);
g.drawLine();
g.drawRect();
. /// Carry on drawing all here
.// draw entire stuff that u are drawing in paint method
.
// u r done here drawing all stuff
return;
}
Code ends !!!
-----------------------------------------------------------

overrride update.draw an offline image that is buffer and then copy it.using drawImage method of graphics.

hi,
i'm having the same flickering problem with my swing applet.. i'm not drawing any shapes ("g.drawLine(), g.drawRect()")etc but i'd like to know how to draw my JComponents (JPanels, JButtons)etc.. thanks

Hi there,

I am also having flickering problems. I have used swing applets. When I scroll these applets in browser, they flicker like hell. I am still trying to figure out the reason behind this.

hi shaunak,
in applet whenever we drawn component it will draw directly on screen..while in swing it will create one canvas (screen)automatically and drawn component on that screen..so in awt we are facing flickering problem..and we had solved it through double buffering...so check it out double buffering
