Newbie - Repainting images

[NiceButDim]

Hi, I am very new to Java. I have a problem with displaying an image;

-------------------------------
package bts;

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

public class Match extends Applet {
Image box;

public void init() {
prepare();
}

public void prepare() {
box = createImage(700,100);
Graphics g = box.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillRect(0,0, 700,100);
}


public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(box,10,10,this);
}
}
-------------------------------

This code simply draws a red rectangle on the top left of my browser. That works fine. However, if I then drag another window over my rectangle, it is not always redrawn.
Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

john.

afaik, you should overwrite paintComponents, not paint, but I don't deal with the Applet-class that often.
