Creating a Flag

[tampa]

I am very new to Java and I am currently writing a program that should display the US Flag along with the originals 49 stars. I am attaching what I have....are there any ideas so I can get this project completed....I am using a book called teach yourself Java 2

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

////////// Flag

public class Flag

{
///////main
public static void main (String [] args)
{
JFrame windo = new FlagWindow();
windo.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
windo.setVisible(true);
}//end class Flag

class FlagWindow extends JFrame {

FlagWindow() {
Container content = this.getContentPane();
content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
MyDrawing drawing = new MyDrawing ();
content.add(drawing, BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.setTitle("The Freedom Flag"
this.pack();

}//end settings

}//endclass FlagWindow

class MyDrawing extends JPanel {
////Constructor
MyDrawing (){

public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{

super.paintComponent(g);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(900, 700)); //screen size
this.setBackground(Color.black);
int w = getWidth( );
int h = getHeight();
double w1 = (2/3)*w; //flag width
double h1 = (2/3)*h; // flag height
double stripesHeight = (h1/13); //dividing the screen into equal number of stripes
double y = stripesHeight;





g.fillRect(w/6. h/6. (2/3)*w. (2/3)*h);
g.setColor(Color.red);

while

(y < (5/6) *w);

{

g.fillRect(w/6. (h/6. + y). (2/3)*w. (2/3)*h);
g.setColor(Color.white);
y = y + (2 stripesHeight);
}//end constructor

}//end paintComponent
}//endclass MyDrawing

I got it to work....however, it seems that my stars look more like round little circles....I am again attaching the program....if anyone have any idea about creating better stars....their welcome would be greatly appreciated...in addition, I would love any ideas about making the flag wave...that would be really cool for my third programming project....
