How can I change a timer's delay?

Hi! I have a timer with its initial delay set at 200ms. and after some event happens I want to change it. What do I have to do to do this without creating a new timer? I am using a Swing timer.
What the timer does is repaint(), I think it should be taken into acount.

Thanks!!

Have you looked at the API doc to see if the Timer class has any methods that will do what you want?

Yes, there's a setDelay method, but wherever I put it, I doesn't work as I want.

Do you have a small program you can post to demo your problem?
Can you explain how you want it to work.

I am working on a Snake clone game. I have a timer which "moves" the snake every 200ms by changing the position of each square of the Snake, and then repaints. I want to change that delay, decrease it, when the score reaches, eg. 10, so that the snake moves faster.

I'm so sorry! I don't know WTF happened, but now it works. I used the setDelay method, which I had already used but didn't work. I really don't know what I did wrong the other time.
Thanks for your time, anyway!!

I guess its one of those mysteries.
