Thanks crptcblade,

I wonder if you could help me,
I have an applet class and a canvas class

I'm trying to put text in the canvas and scroll the canvas upwards, heres my code.

Code:

---

//applet class
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class NewsApplet extends java.applet.Applet
                                                implements Runnable{
       
        private Canvas news = new TextCanvas();       
        private Thread thread;
        private long delay = 40;
       
        public int x = 100;
        public int y = 100;
       
        public void init(){
               
                news.setSize(100,100);
                news.setLocation(10,10);
                add(news);
        }
       
        public void start(){
       
                thread = new Thread(this);
        thread.start();
        }
       
        public void run(){
               
        try {while (true) {           
            repaint();
            Thread.sleep(delay);
        };} catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // end
        };
        }
       
        public void stop(){
       
                if (thread!=null) thread.stop();
                thread=null;
        }
        public void paint(Graphics g){
                x+=1;
                y+=1;
                news.setLocation(x,y);
        }
}

//canvas class
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
                                                 
public class TextCanvas extends Canvas
{       
        public void paint (Graphics g){
                g.setColor(Color.black);
                g.drawString("hello world",100,100);

        public void paint(Graphics g){

                if (y<0) y = 100;
                        else y--;
                       
                news.setLocation(0,y);
                news.repaint();
        }
}

class TextCanvas extends Canvas
{       
        public void paint (Graphics g){
                g.setColor(Color.black);
                g.drawString("hello world",10,10);
        }
}

I changed it a little bit, it starts at the bottom, and scrolls 'Hello World' to the top, then starts at the bottom again.

:)

cheers M8 ;)

I'll try it at work tommorow!

I've tried this now, and it works!

Only thing is it goes at light speed no matter what i set the delay to !

Any Ideas
