hi,
you need a thread which will sleep for 10 seconds, call repaint() and then goes to sleep again. Something like this:public class MyApplet implements Runnable
  private Thread repaintThread = null;
  public void run ()
    while (true)
      myThread.sleep (10000);
      repaint();
    // + catch Exceptions
  public void init ()
    myThread = new Thread (this);
    myThread.start();
