Applet and multithreading

[pricelessjunk]

hey guyz...am really having trouble with this prog...can anyone plzzz help....i'll explain the code...

I have a simple applet code..it marquees a line...i want to make it stop at a particular interval and make it continue on mouse clicking...so I use wait()..but on using notifyAll() nothing happens...can anyone plz help...and forgive me if there is any stupid errors in the code...

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;


public class threadtest extends Applet implements MouseListener{

String msg,statusmsg;
int x=20,y=30,i;
newthread nt=new newthread();

public void init()
{
setForeground(Color.blue);
addMouseListener(this);
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString(msg, x, y);

}

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me){}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me){}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){}

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
{
showStatus("Mouse is clicked");
msg="look at the mouse";
repaint();
nt.t.start();
}

synchronized void resumenow()
{
notify();
}

synchronized void suspendnow()
{
    try
    {
         showStatus("Thread is in suspendnow()");
         wait();
    }
    catch (InterruptedException ex) {}
}



public void start()
{
msg = "Started";


for(i=0;i<100;i++)
{
    if(x>200)
    {
       x=20;
    }
    x=x+1;
    repaint();
    if(i%3==0)
    {
         showStatus("This thread is gonna wait");
         repaint();
         suspendnow();
        showStatus("thread is waiting");

      }
}

}
}



class newthread implements Runnable{

Thread t;

public newthread()
{
t=new Thread(this);
}

public void run()
{
resumenow();
}

synchronized void resumenow()
{
notifyAll();
}

synchronized void suspendnow()
{
    try
    {
        wait();
    }
    catch (InterruptedException ex) {}
}

}

thanks in advance

You shouldn't block the thread which invoked start().
