I know what Thread's about along side Runnable.
But how do I actually use it?
e.g. I have a panel with a mouseClicked listener, and I want to draw an animation on its Graphics [ not a "gif", but do a series of actions, like in paint(Graphics g) ] each time I click my mouse, so that even if I click my mouse with small spaces of time between each click, every animation will be drawn till its end.
Help please :)
Thanks.
I tried using that, and it doesn't work... well -- it works as a Timer object but I still can't do what I needed, so I'll just give the files here.
I want to generate, in the following panel, circles around the mouse when it's clicked. That's all, but for some reason it won't work.
I also tried to create a new class that extends Thread or implements Runnable but I couldn't get the repaint action to constantly repaint the panel and make the circles visible.
I just started this, so the panel code only has setPreferredSize, the mouse listener for the clicks and an empty paint(Graphics g) method.
Please, help :D
