Java applet -> Animated backround. How?

[J-G]

Hi,
One fast question, how to do animated backrounds to java applets?

[ess]

By manipulating the contents pane of an applet, calling the repaint method in a timely managed code to redraw/repaint text/image(s) inside the ContentsPage of a given applet. The same is also true for JFrames, Frame from the java.awt.* package.

Check out the following url which illustrates a simple example of repainting on an applet....by means of event handling.
