JApplet - super.paint(); causes flicker

Question

I\'m writing a JApplet right now, and whenever I call super.paint(), the applet flickers. I am using double buffering (drawing to an image, and then rendering that image), b

Answer 1

Don't use paint and don't draw directly in the JApplet. Instead draw in a JPanel's paintComponent method and call super.paintComponent(g) as the first line of that method. Add that JPanel to your JApplet's contentPane to allow the applet to display it.

Edit 1
Also you can't use paintComponents for this as this does something entirely different. Again use paintComponent but only in a component that derives from JComponent such as a JPanel (or a JComponent itself).

Edit 2 Also always put an @Override above your paintComponent method to be sure that you are in fact overriding the super method.
