When I run a program that needs updating every loop or so it doesn''t draw the screen until I click the applet. This is for both the browser (IE 6) and appletviewer. Anyone experience this that can provide a solution? Thanks for any help.

Have you tried requestFocus? That call is a good call to place at the start of every applet.

The fanatic is incorruptible: if he kills for an idea, he can just as well get himself killed for one; in either case, tyrant or martyr, he is a monster.
