Answer 1

after desimating your code..... I still couldn't get it to work. but i did get it to call the paint function during the for loop.....
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class tmp  implements ActionListener
static JWindow window;
static JPanel panel;
JButton go = new JButton("go");
static  int ff = 255;
drawtext dwtxpanel;
public static void main(String Args[])
  tmp obj = new tmp();
public tmp()
  Dimension screen   = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
  window = new JWindow();
  dwtxpanel = new drawtext();
  dwtxpanel.setOpaque(false);
  go.setBounds(200,250,50,20);
  go.setOpaque(false);
  go.setActionCommand("gobtbutton");
  go.addActionListener(this);
  window.getContentPane().add(go);
  window.getContentPane().add(dwtxpanel);
  window.setLocation((screen.width - 700)/2,(screen.height - 500)/2);
  window.setSize(700,500);
  window.setVisible(true);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
  if (evt.getActionCommand().equals("gobtbutton"))
   for(int k =0; k<25; k++)
    ff = ff - 10;
          double theTime = System.currentTimeMillis()+300;
           while(theTime-System.currentTimeMillis()>0)
                //repeat :D
    dwtxpanel.paint(dwtxpanel.temp);
    window.validate();
    window.repaint();
    //dwtxpanel.update(dwtxpanel.temp);
class drawtext extends JPanel
     Graphics temp;
     Graphics2D g2d;
Dimension screen   = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
public void paint(Graphics g)
     temp = g;
     System.out.println("bla"+tmp.ff);
  g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
  g2d.setColor(new Color(tmp.ff,0,0,255));
  g2d.setFont(new Font("Impact",Font.PLAIN,35));
  g2d.drawString("Fade example",10,90);
}I know i had this sort of problem of changing but not updating in a card game i made. so i'll try find it.
