applets & threads

[willemjav]

In principle my image slide show applet is working, the info text of each image appears but most of the time the image does not appear (strange enough just so now and than). I believe that is because the applet downloads the image and wants to paint it at the same time but the server does not make the image available right away.
Should I put the download and paint in different threads?
Has anybody an idea what might go on and how to solve this?

Check out the sections
Loading Images Into Applets
Improving Perceived Performance When Loading Image Icons
on the page How to Use Icons where they discuss loading images on a background thread.
