I have an animated GIF which I would like to display in all its animated glory in a JFrame based application and in a JApplet. The GIF animates when displayed in the JFrame by using the paintIcon() method of ImageIcon but the same code only displays a static icon in the applet.

Is there a reason for this and/or a way to get it to work in the applet? I am not trying to do anything sophisticated with it just yet, I simply create a JPanel and override its paintComponent() method to paint the ImageIcon. As I said, it works fine when the JPanel is in a JFrame but not in a JApplet.


Simply put your Icon in a JLabel. Shouldn't be necessary to interfere
with paintComponent() at all.

This MAY solve your problem.

Thanks but it just doesn't want to animate inside an applet even when in a JLabel :-(
