Applet, swing and Java3D flickering
Hi,
Hope I'm not doing a double post. I have a strange problem at the moment, its driving me crazy. I am working on an applet using a Java3D canvas and some swing components.
Sometimes there does not seem to be a problem, but at other times, when the model moves, the swing interface around the java 3d seems to flicker. By flickering, I mean the applet renders one frame, then the next frame is a previous frame, then the next frame is the new frame again etc... all the time, back and forth for every pixel movement of the 3D canvas model. This problem also occures on the Java console. If this one is displayed, the logging of the console also flickers between a previous state and the actual draw state. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.
The issue seems to occure on java 3d 1.4.01 and on java 1.5.6 or higher. There is no problem with java 1.4.2_xx, and it seems to be browser independent. Video graphics chip used is an nVidea geForce go or quadro.
Once the flickering starts, it can be solved by resizing the html page (and thus resizing the applet as well).
I tried downsizing the hardware acceleration slider. When i size it down to the second level (disable direct draw and direct3d), even when I size it up again afterwards it seems to solve the problem (or at least I think it does).
Anyone any suggestion or idea to what to problem might be?
Thanks.
