Can't start Thread from modal JDialog.

Hi,

this is a part of my code. I can't start the scanThread from the object WaitingDl. But if i close the modal JDialog (WaitingDl) the scanThread starts, please help:

Thread scanThread = new Thread() {

public void run() {

// do something ....

// .....

}

};

WaitingDl waitFrame = new WaitingDl("Waiting process", parent, scanThread, "Please wait ...");

class WaitingDl extends JDialog {

public WaitingDl(String title, JFrame parent, Thread thread, String waitingText) {

// a modal Dialog

super(parent,true);

// This command doesn't work!

scanThread.start();

}

}

Thanks!
