Hi,
I'm trying to write a program that simulate traffic. I've got a class
"Scheduler" that simulate the movement of streets, cars ...
I've created an applet which calls a thread; in his method "run" I simply
call the method run of the Scheduler (which modifies cars position ...)
(action A) and then I repaint all the streets and cars (action B) then the
thread sleeps 30 millis (action C)

The thread start and so actions A,B,C, A,B,C, A,B,C, A,B,C ... are executed.
At a certain point while executing event B (repaint) the action A starts
again....
Why???

Can you please help me??

Thank you Vanessa

public class JSim extends JPanel implements Runnable{
   public Thread runner = null;
   public static Schedulatore scheduler = new Schedulatore();

   public SimulatoreCanvas() {
       super();
   }

   public void run() {
       startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
       while (Thread.currentThread() == runner) {
           try {
                   //action A
                   this.scheduler.run();

                   //action B
                   repaint();

                   //action C
                   Thread.sleep(30);

           }
           catch (InterruptedException e) { ;
           }
       }
   }

    public void start() {
       if (runner == null) {
           runner = new Thread(this);
           runner.start();
       }
   }

   public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
       //... code that paints street objects
   }
