creating animation using SWING?

[Jroyal]

      for (int x=0; x<2000; x++)
      {
    datafield1.setLocation(luckyjbox.getX()+x, luckyjbox.getY());
    datafield1.updateUI();
  
      }

I want it to animate, so that the jtextfield moves from one position to the next one pixel at a time.

why isnt it working?

Who knows ...

What's luckybox? What do you mean by "it's not working"?

jluckybox is just a ordenary Jtextfield.

datafield1 is a jtextfield,

datafield1.setLocation( param, param );

sets the location of the datafield1 to the specified X and Y cordinates.

now all i want to do is add one each time to say X and see the jtextfield move..

And what's happening?

but i am using Jtextfield for the databoxes.

shouldn't you update the container instead of the jtextfield?

Yeah, you need to invalidate the container/panel so it gets redrawn.
