but i told you the problem why would you need to see it?

the problem is that i cant clear string after 1 sec. right now if i run this code. 1st animation works fine but 2nd animation i can print...

ok let me try again:
to display drawstring on screen for 1 sec than clearing it. i should do this: right?


1 - i am using timer so check
2 - i am drawing in paint() g.drawstring so check
3 -...

so what you are saying is that i shouldnt draw string in paint method. bc onces you draw in paint() than you cant undo.

and i should use JLabel? and draw in init() function?

so i should drawstring() in paint method and after 1 sec change color same as background?

o but isnt only way to display message on screen is by "g.drawString();" in paint method

1)Use a Timer. --check
2)Show message --check
3)Start timer for desired time --(not sure but i think its this)

4)when timer calls its listener, clear message
can you plz explain this...

i have two animation going on screen.
one animation is a rect going to right. i dont want this animation to stop
2nd animation is message coming on screen for 1 sec and removeing it.

right now...
