manually calling paint

how do i pass it "Graphics g"?

nvermind, got it

Code:

---

paint(getGraphics());

From what I know, paint() is a callback, and should only be called directly by the system (not that it really makes a difference), you should just call the repaint() method.

:)

repaint didn't work for some reason.

calling paint() did it, sort of. now i overrode the paint() function itself so no more flickering :)
