Thread: run method not working in japplet

i am creating a rect in paint method. and i am trying to move it to its right by 1 px in loop. but the problem is its not going inside the run method. any idea why?

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
 
import javax.swing.JApplet;
 
 
public class main extends JApplet implements Runnable
{
	//Double buffering variables
	Image dbImage; 
	Graphics dbGraphics;
 
	//player information variable
	int x = 10;
	int y = 50;
	int width = 30;
	int height = 30;
	int dx = 1;
 
	//###################################################################################################################
	/*** init method ***/
	public void init()
	{
		setSize(800, 400);
	}/*** end of init method ***/
 
 
 
	//#####################################################################################################################
	/*** stat method ***/
	public void start()
	{
 
	}/*** end of start method ***/
 
 
	//########################################################################################################################
	/*** run method ***/
	public void run()
	{
 
		while(true) //main game loop
		{
			//move image here
			x += dx;
 
			if(x+width >= getWidth())
			{
				x -= dx;
			}
 
 
			repaint();
			try
			{
				Thread.sleep(17);
			}
			catch(InterruptedException e)
			{
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
 
		}//end of while loop
	}/*** end of run method ***/
 
 
	//########################################################################################################################
	/*** update method ***/
	public void update(Graphics g) 
	{
		if(dbImage == null) //if image is empty than create new image
		{
			dbImage = createImage(this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
			dbGraphics = dbImage.getGraphics();
		}
		dbGraphics.setColor(getBackground());  //set the background color
		dbGraphics.fillRect(0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
		dbGraphics.setColor(getForeground());
		paint(dbGraphics);     //call paint method
		g.drawImage(dbImage, 0, 0, this);
	}/*** end of update method ***/

I don't see any code that would make the run method, well, run. Where's your Thread object that gets fed the Runnable? Where do you call start() on this Thread?

Other problems with your code: you should almost never override update(...) in a Swing application, you should not draw directly in a Swing JApplet but rather in the paintComponent(...) method of a JPanel or JComponent that is held by the applet. You shouldn't have a class Graphics or Graphics2D field as that's not how you would use these objects.

i see i fix all the think you told me and now its is almost seem to be working.

it was redrawing rect over each other so i called super.paint..... to fix that problem.

but now ithe rect despair for half sec. than moves to right. despair for half sec .. and so on.

i tried look tutorial on japplet on online but i cant find them. i only saw alot of applet tutorial which is not what i want.

You need to look at the painting with Swing tutorials: Performing Custom Painting and Painting in AWT and Swing
