A simple problem but complicated for me........

Question

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
/*<applet code="First" width=100 height=100>
</applet>*/
public class First extends Applet {
/*public void init()
     public void paint(Graphics g)
          setBackground(Color.black);
setForeground(Color.green);
g.drawString("annn",1,10);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("annn",10,20);
setForeground(Color.orange);
g.drawString("annn",1,30);
The problem is that when i run the above applet the output keeps fluctuating as if the paint method is being called again and again..
why is the same text being painted again and again.......

Answer 1

It's an issue of double buffering, it sounds like... (flickering?)
See:

You can probably most easily solve this by using swing instead of awt. Use JApplet, JPanels, etc. from javax.swing
import javax.swing.*;
/*<applet code="First" width=100 height=100>
</applet>*/
public class First extends JApplet {
/*public void init()
public void paint(Graphics g)
setBackground(Color.black);
setForeground(Color.green);
g.drawString("annn",1,10);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("annn",10,20);
setForeground(Color.orange);
g.drawString("annn",1,30);
