Hi
I´m trying to move a filled rectangle by increasing the x-position by one in a applet, but it flickers. I´m not sure if the code below is the right way to go but this is how I have programmed?

public class Game extends Applet implements Runnable
{
    private BufferedImage bi = null;
    private TexturePaint paint = null;
    private Graphics2D g2d = null;
    private Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,50,50);
    private Boolean isRunningFirstTime = true;
    private Thread thread = null;
    private int x = 0;

    public void init()
    {
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        update(g);
    }

    public void update(Graphics g)
    {
        if (isRunningFirstTime)
        {
            bi = new BufferedImage(50, 50, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g2 = bi.createGraphics();
            g2.setColor(Color.red);
            g2.fillRect(0, 0, 50, 50);
            paint = new TexturePaint(bi, new Rectangle(50, 50));
            isRunningFirstTime = false;
        }

        g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.setColor(Color.white);
        g2d.clearRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
        g2d.setPaint(paint);
        g2d.fill(rect);
    }

    public void run()
    {
        while (thread != null)
        {
                rect.setLocation(x+=1, 0);
                repaint();
                try
                {
                        Thread.sleep(10);
                }
                catch (InterruptedException error)
                {
                }
        }

    }

    public void start() {
            if (thread == null) {
                    thread = new Thread(this);
                    thread.start();
            }
    }

    public void stop() {
            thread = null;
    }
}

As I said, it flickers! How do I solve this?
