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.

//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);
	}
}

running it in visual studio i just get a blank applet!!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated here !

public class NewsApplet extends Applet implements Runnable{
	
	private TextCanvas news = new TextCanvas();	
	private Thread thread;
	private long delay = 100;
	
	public int x = 0;
	public int y = 100;
	
	public void init()
	{
	}
	
	public void start()
	{
		this.setBackground(Color.red);
		this.add(news);
		news.setBounds(0,0,100,100);

		thread = new Thread(this); 
        thread.start();
	}
	
	public void run(){
		
        try
		{
			while (true)
			{            
				this.repaint();
				Thread.sleep(delay);
			}
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
	}
	
	public void stop(){
	
	}
	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.

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
