Moving test applet without thread or preferrably special class

[Former Member]

I want to know if a moving test applet can be created this way because we are actually just using one thread. So there must be some way to use the main thread to show the moving text.

Hi Dhruwat,

I developed a java news ticker a few years ago but unfortunately I do not have anymore the code.

But I found: <a href="http://www.javaside.com/asp/menu_us.asp?page=aticker.shtml">java applet ticker sample</a>

with source code downloadable. I think this could be a good starting point.

Kind Regards,

Sergio

Hi Dhruwat,

I do not think you can create such an applet without using threads.

Can't you instantiate a new thread from the main thread and let it handle the moving text?
