Why does this code not work...

As far as I know, this code is supposed to draw a black circle, and then slowly move it across the screen.. only problem is.. it doesn't move.. and on my computer, if i extend the applets screen, the ball dissapears and moves back if i shrink the applet back down.. if someone can help me id appreciate it..

Code:

---

// This applet displays a message moving horizontally
// across the screen.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Banner extends JApplet
{

  public void init()
  {
    Container c = getContentPane();
    repaint();
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
    int x = 10;
    int y = 10;
    super.paint(g);
    g.fillOval(x, y, 20, 20);
    x++;
  }
}

---

The init method is only run once, during applet initialization and when the html page is refreshed. The paint method is only run after explicit calls to repaint() and when the screen updates. The x-position value is reset upon every call to the paint method.

And last but not least; you must implement a thread or a ticker in order to do animation.

This program is OK for your request, but if you want more amination ,
you have to improve it!
